Brent Faiyaz Shuts Down Major Label Deals In Favour Of Staying Independent

by

It’s been quiet on Brent Faiyaz’s front since he delivered WASTELAND back in 2022. Thankfully, the R&B crooner came back to Instagram on Monday (May 1) with some major news, which he’s only been able to top in the time since. Not only does he have a collaboration with Marshmello dropping as his first single of the year on Friday (May 5), but he’s also heading out on tour later this summer and for most of the fall. The F*ck The World It’s A Wasteland tour will kick off on July 16th, followed by stops in North American cities like Chicago, Toronto, Miami, Houston, Oakland, and Los Angeles before he heads overseas to the United Kingdom for more fun.

While in Europe, Faiyaz is set to hit up Glasgow, London, Stockholm Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan, and Barcelona, among other beautiful cities before closing things out with a final concert in Paris on November 19th. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 AM PDT, while presale will take place on Thursday (May 4). While fans of the “ALL MINE” artist wait in the online queue to purchase their passes, they’ll at least be able to stream his upcoming “Fell In Love” single.

Brent Faiyaz Announces 2023 Tour Dates

Brent shared a teaser of the highly anticipated song earlier this week, along with a video that sees him seemingly putting the charm on a love interest. “You ain’t fall in love with me,” he sings. “You fell in love with the man I could be.” As always, the 27-year-old proved that he knows his demographic all too well and that plenty of women who have a habit of seeing potential, rather than what’s right in front of them, will certainly be un their feelings over this one.

Along with all of those announcements, it was also revealed by Variety that the Maryland native has turned down several major label record deals in favour of remaining independent. He’ll be partnering with UnitedMasters for the time being, who hope to “further amplify his creative vision and support his entrepreneurial ambitions” through their work together. Check out Brent Faiyaz and Marshmello’s “Fell In Love” single teaser below, and tap back in with HNHH this weekend to stream it along with our other new release recommendations.

Drake Fans Furious After He Rescheduled Tour Dates

by

Drake caused an uproar online after he rescheduled his dates for his upcoming tour with 21 Savage. Moreover, a lot of people specifically took issue with the dates moving from summer of this year to this fall. After all, for such an anticipated and expensive tour, many die-hards probably made big changes to their schedule to attend. That being said, not all tour dates saw a change. New Orleans, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta dates moving from summer to fall were the ones that fans decried.

Of course, this simply adds to grievances with this concert trek for a lot of supporters out there. For example, the “It’s All A Blur” tour first saw criticism for its insanely high ticket prices, with some comparing it to the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé shows. However, that might not be entirely the organizers’ fault, as Ticketmaster often gets flack for how they “dynamically” shift prices to accommodate for massive demand. In addition, Drake and 21 Savage added various tour dates to the trek as well, so one person’s trash in Houston will be another’s treasure in, for example, Charlotte.

Drake Fans Mad That He Changed Tour Dates Around

Still, that doesn’t make the sting any less potent for a lot of OVO goons. While it’s been a long time since Drake embarked on a tour (since 2018 to be exact), recent shows gave fans hope and proof that this one will be excellent. One of these shows was the 6 God’s run in the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City. During this and other recent performances, the “Nice For What” MC ran through his classic catalog and his most recent big hits.

Meanwhile, other aspects of the 36-year-old’s live shows left fans with a sour taste in their mouths. Specifically, his Lollapalooza set this year resulted in a late start, short performance, and a canceled livestream. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Coachella and Frank Ocean proved just weeks later that those issues can often plague festival headliners. Still, that doesn’t make it an easier pill to swallow for fans, especially when the blame is unclear. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest happenings from Drake and check out fan reactions down below.

Fans React To “It’s All A Blur” Rescheduled Dates

Little Simz Headed On Tour After Postponing Last Year

by

Little Simz has worked hard to amass her fanbase over the years. The British rapper has won over the hearts of many with her independent debut, “A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons,” in 2015. This was followed by “Stillness in Wonderland” in 2016 and “Grey Area” in 2019. Her 2021 project, “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert,” was greatly received, securing her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist. In 2022, she unveiled her latest work of art, “No Thank You,” another critically acclaimed project. Now, Simz is ready to take her music on the road.

On Monday, the 29-year-old announced to her fans that she was headed across the U.S. and Canada for her No Thank You Tour. In an Instagram caption, Simz expressed her gratitude to her supporters who made the tour possible. “It’s been a long time. Appreciate your love and patience,” she wrote. The set of shows is especially special due to Simz previously having to cancel her tour. Last year she was looking forward to performing across the United States. 

Little Simz Self-Funds Her Music And Tours

Unfortunately, being a self-funded artist made this incredibly difficult. Breaking the news to fans via Twitter, Simz explained to followers that she pays for all her tour expenses entirely out of pocket. “Touring the U.S. for a month would leave me in a huge deficit.” Though disappointed at the time, fans sent words of encouragement to the singer and rapper. 

Simz will kick off her tour on September 20th in Chicago at The Riviera Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. Days later, she’ll be at The Masquerade (Heaven) on September 24th in Atlanta, Georgia. The ten-date trek will also have two dates in Canada: October 8th in Toronto and Montreal the following day. Pre-sale access for the No Thank You Tour will be available on Tuesday, April 10th. The general sale will begin on Thursday, April 13th. Though she may not have been on the road, Simz has kept busy with sporadic performances. The same day her general admission tickets go on sale, Simz will grace the stage at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Fans can purchase passes to her show at ittlesimz.com.

Lil Wayne Launches “Welcome To Tha Carter” Tour In An Intimate Setting: Watch

by

While we wait for The Carter VI, Lil Wayne has been celebrating his expansive catalog. Last week, he released the I Am Music compilation, a collection of his greatest hits since the beginning of Tha Carter series. However, the project conveniently arrived days before he launched his forthcoming tour. What was surprising about the tour announcement was that he plotted on smaller venues than most would expect from such a high-profile artist. Some felt like it was a sign that tickets weren’t moving fast enough but it turns out, he just wanted to treat his day-one fans to an intimate setting.

This week, Wayne kicked off the Welcome To Tha Carter tour in Minneapolis. As footage emerged, fans quickly discovered that Wayne was diving into the back catalog for his North American run. The rapper’s getting up close and personal with his fans while going through records that some haven’t heard live in over a decade. One video reveals that he dove into records off of The Leak including “I’m Me,” which later landed as a bonus track on Tha Carter III, as well as “I’m A Beast.” Welcome To Tha Carter tour is providing a serious case of FOMO to anyone who hasn’t copped tickets yet.

Lil Wayne’s Set List

Along with records like “I’m Me” and “I’m A Beast,” Wayne went through a significant portion of his catalog during the opening night. He performed new records like “Kant Nobody,” “Uproar” and his verse on NLE Choppa’s “Ain’t Gonna Answer,” on top of classic joints like “Hustler Musik,” “BMJR,” and No Ceilings cuts like “Wasted” and “Watch My Shoes.” Unfortunately, he didn’t preview any new music from his forthcoming album, at least, not yet. 

Weezy’s 28-date tour will take him across the majority of America, as well as a single Canadian stop in Toronto. He already faced some setbacks. The rapper’s tour stop in Fargo, ND tonight (April 6th) was postponed until May 21st due to the weather conditions in the city.  Hopefully, he won’t face many other issues on future tour dates. Check out some of the footage from Lil Wayne’s Minneapolis concert on Tuesday night and let us know if you’ll be checking him out on his spring tour. 

Ab-Soul Announces “Intelligent Movement” Tour

by

Just as Top Dawg promised, Ab-Soul will be hitting the road in support of Herbert. The Carson, CA rapper emerged with his latest studio album in December to close out a triumphant year for TDE. Though we’re almost five months removed from the album’s release, Ab will be coming to a city near you this summer. The announcement comes after Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith confirmed tour plans for the Black Lip Pastor.

 The rapper announced the Intelligent Movement tour this morning, which kicks off in Toronto on June 6th before closing things out in Boston on June 30th. Soulo hasn’t unveiled the opening acts, though we’d presume it’s someone from the TDE camp. However, the 17-date trek will bring Ab-Soul across America. Expect to see him in cities like Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and New York, among others. Though we only have two months until it launches, it seems like a promising indication that he has new music coming soon.

Ab-Soul Shares Tour Dates But Where’s The Deluxe?

In the past few months, we’ve heard some promising updates from Ab-Soul. For one, he’s already plotting the release of the deluxe edition of Herbert. During an interview on Mackwop TV, Ab-Soul confirmed that the deluxe edition of the project was on the way. However, he stated it would drop on the late Doebuger’s birthday (April 1st), though it looks like it got pushed back further. However, with the tour expected to launch in a few months, we’re probably not far away from Soulo dropping that for us. Maybe then, we’ll see the rumored Jay-Z collab.

In addition to the re-release of Herbert, Soulo also is working on his follow-up album. Though we had to wait a few six years between his latest album and Do What Thou Wilt, he confirmed that he’s already cheffing up his next opus for a 2023 release. However, Top Dawg said that he aims for it to drop by December. Additionally, the TDE founder also said that a Black Hippy project could potentially see the light of day this year. All in all, there’s a lot to look forward to from Top Dawg Entertainment this year. Check out the Intelligent Movement tour dates above. 

Bryson Tiller Announces “Back And I’m Better” Tour

by

Bryson Tiller’s next album is on the way but first, he’ll be gracing the stage for his first tour in nearly five years. The “Wild Thoughts” singer shared a set of North American tour dates on Instagram this morning, which will find him taking his catalog across the road with him. Bryson Tiller will kick off the tour in San Diego on May 4th for the month-plus trek. From there, he’ll touch other major cities such as Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Tiller will close out his dates in Seattle on June 12th.

DJ Nitrane will accompany Bryson Tiller on his forthcoming tour, which he explained will give fans a glimpse of what he has up his sleeve while celebrating the records that turned him into a critical part of the modern R&B sound. “It’s simple, we back!” He wrote. “Taking a trip to the past and giving y’all a glimpse of the future. 5 whole years without touring, Time really does fly… See y’all soon!” Tickets for Bryson Tiller’s Back And I’m Better tour go on sale this Friday, March 24th at 10 a.m..

Bryson Tiller’s Tour Signals New Album

Though half a decade passed since Bryson Tiller hit the road on a formal tour, he hasn’t left fans empty-handed. Closing out 2021, he blessed fans with a Christmas project, A Different Kind Of Christmas, that boasted features from Justin Bieber, Kiana Ledé and more. That project came a little less than two months after he dropped his mixtape, Killer Extincts 2 around Halloween to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Killer Extinct. Presumably, Bryson Tiller will perform some of these cuts on his upcoming tour.

Thoug closing out 2021 on a high note, he didn’t provide a timeline for his next album recently. He did, however, appear alongside Diddy on “Gotta Move On” which they debuted at the Billboard Music Awards. Then, he shared a handful of singles including “Outside,” while appearing alongside Nav on “Reset.” Hopefully, he has a release date for his next project soon. Check out the tour dates for Bryson Tiller’s trek above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Drake & 21 Savage Add 12 Dates To “It’s All A Blur” Tour

by

Drake and 21 Savage announced tour dates for this summer but getting tickets for their concerts appear to be just as difficult as Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, if not more. In the past few days, pre-sale for tickets went up which subsequently left fans devastated at the prices. While concerts sold out quickly, many were also shocked to find the $1K price point attached to nosebleed seats. Needless to say, it will cost a pretty penny to see The Boy in the flesh this summer but if you’re willing to shell out the dough, they’ve added new tour dates to meet the demand.

The It’s All A Blur tour officially added 12 more dates to select cities as concerts began to sell out before tickets became available to the general public. Dallas, DC, Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Montreal, Philly, San Francisco, Seattle, and Vancouver will have second tour dates during Drake’s run. Meanwhile, Drake and 21 added a third date for Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Los Angeles. Hopefully, this allows more fans to attend the show without having to drain their bank accounts. 

Drake & 21 Savage Bring “Her Loss” On The Road

Drake and 21 Savage began teasing a joint tour earlier this year, though the Canadian rapper confirmed that he was hitting the road in late 2022. Despite releasing three albums within the span of 14 months, he hasn’t been able to tour for any of the projects. However, he spent the majority of the past two years joining many of his rap peers on stage as a special guest. All in all, the It’s All A Blur tour seems like it will become one of the highest-grossing tours of the year.

Before the tour begins at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center on June 16th, Drake will co-headline a set with J Cole at Dreamville Festival. The North Caroline rapper shared the official line-up for the festival earlier this month, revealing that he and Drizzy will close the festival out on April 2nd. Check out the dates for the It’s All A Blur tour below.
