Jay-Z has announced a huge North American tour for 2017 in support of his new album, 4.44.
The 47-year-old rapper will start off the run of dates on October 27 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and will conclude with a show at The Forum in Los Angeles on Dec. 21.
Live Nation is promoting the tour after the ‘Holy Grail’ hitmaker inked a 10-year, $200 million touring deal with them in May.
TIDAL members will be available to access a special presale from 10 a.m. EST. General tickets go on sale on Friday, July 14.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that the hip-hop star’s 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy raps on a bonus track on 4.44.
The LP was made available to stream on TIDAL last week, but now it has been released more broadly, it has been revealed that a bonus track on the record called ‘Blue’s Freestyle/ We Family’ features rhymes from their little girl. Though some of the tot’s lyrics are hard to understand, they include “boom shakalaka” and “never seen a ceiling in my whole life.”
While the track marks the first time Blue Ivy has shown off her rap skills, she has been featured on a record before.
In 2012, Jay, whose real name is Shawn Carter, sampled her crying on a track called “Glory,” and she’s also featured on her mother Beyonce’s single “Blue.”
Jay’s tour announcement comes a month after the birth of his and Beyonce’s twins Rumi and Sir Carter.
