Freddie Gibbs is hitting the road. On Wednesday (Dec. 15), the Grammy-nominated rapper announced the “Space Rabbit Tour,” a 22-stop trek that will kick off next year.
According to Gibbs’ social media announcement, the tour will be supported by Zack Fox, MIKE and redveil and starts on April 14 at San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom. Running through Dallas, Atlanta, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and more; the tour finally wraps up on June 3 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Tickets for the “Space Rabbit Tour” go on sale this Friday (Dec. 17) at 10 a.m. local time.
Gibbs most recently contributed to the “Grand Theft Auto Online: The Contract” soundtrack with his song “Miami Vice,” featuring Pusha T and Kevin Cossom; and “Pick the Phone Up” with Juicy J. Last month, he also dropped off the single “Black Illuminati” with Jadakiss.
Back in October, Gibbs told REVOLT that his upcoming album, SSS, might be his last rap project.
“I ain’t gotta rap no more, man. After SSS, Ima show y’all… I’m ‘bout to bust out with an R&B album,” he revealed.
Despite earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album last year, the Indiana-born artist has been hinting at his R&B transition for a while.
“R&B is what I started out doing before all the rap shit,” he explained at the time. “Now, all you ni**as just wanna make me rap all day and I don’t wanna rap. I wanna go back to my roots. I tried to get signed as an R&B singer in 2004, but every label in the world denied me. So, I had to do rap to get in the door.”
