Nas and Lauryn Hill Joining Forces for Upcoming North American Tour

While Nas’ upcoming album might almost be done, the Queens rapper has plotted a North American takeover with a forthcoming tour alongside collaborator and close friend Lauryn Hill. Comedian Hannibal Buress and reggae star Chronixx will also appear on select tour stops.

The announcement comes after Nas recently celebrated the Fugees frontwoman’s birthday together last week (May 26). “Singing Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder style to my soul sister Ms Lauryn Hill blessings and blessings love. (Free the Big Bro Lord ),” Nas captioned his post.

The two previously collaborated on the Illmatic MC’s 1996 hit “If I Ruled The World.” Their U.S. outing kicks off in Chicago on Sept. 7 and wraps in Vancouver on Oct. 11.

Tickets for the forthcoming trek go live on June 2 on Live Nation. However, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase pre-sale tickets on Wednesday, May 31 at 10 a.m. local time until Thursday, June 1 at 10:00 p.m. courtesy of Citi’s Private Pass program.
