Chicago-based rapper and fast-rising star Vic Mensa is fresh off the release of his critically-acclaimed debut studio LP The Autobiography. Just yesterday, it was also announced that the young phenom will now be joining none other than Jay Z for the legendary Brooklyn rapper's upcoming tour in support of 4:44.
Mensa was introduced to the mainstream world when he appeared on a verse from "Wolves," an early track leak from Kanye West's The Life Of Pablo. Soon after, it was announced that Mensa had been signed to Jay Z's own Roc Nation imprint label. Since then, Mensa has released a series of impressive EPs and mixtapes, all of which caught the ear of underground heads and cemented his growing reputation as one of the most exciting young talents of the New Chicago Sound.
Mensa and Jay's tour will kick off at the end of October in Anaheim, Calif., and take them around the U.S. and Canada for 34 show dates, before returning to Los Angeles to wrap the tour up just before Christmas.
Tickets for the 4:44 Tour are available now via Tidal.
