Mos Def will put on shows across the country to promote his latest release “The Ecstatic”.
The tour starts August 1st in Minneapolis, then swings through the Chi for a stop at the House of Blues.
The rapper-actor will kick things off Aug. 1 in Minneapolis, the first of 18 cities the trek will hit through early September, reports Live Daily. Erykah Badu will offer opening support during the outing’s final three West Coast performances, beginning with a Sept. 3 appearance in San Francisco.
Erykah Badu is scheduled to open three of the shows on the West coast.
Mos Def’s CD most definitely has a collaboration with Talib Kweli, as well as others.
“The Ecstatic,” Mos Def’s fourth solo album, features a wide-ranging roster of production talent, including Madlib, J Dilla, The Neptunes and Oh No, as well as collaborations with Slick Rick, Talib Kweli and jazz/funk singer Georgia Anne Muldrow.
