He wrote a song about three of my favorite things — swimming pools, drinking, and bad decisions (some people might call them “regrets” but man, that’s a downer) — sloshed his way into our hearts/ears, and now he’s going on a world tour for a while. Okay, so maybe Europe and the US aren’t quite “the world.” But from February 8 to June 29, Kendrick Lamar is gonna own the Northern Hemisphere, as the man has just announced additional tourdates that head straight into the USA.
The new crown prince of Rapland is in Germany and Denmark this weekend, and by the end of the month he’ll be kicking off the US leg of his tour in Gainesville, Florida. The man who gave us “Swimming Pools (Drank)” will be repping his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city (TMT Review) at colleges, ballrooms, and awkwardly named festivals (sorry, Kanrocksas) across the lower 48. He’ll also be doing his thang at New York’s Governors Ball music festival in June, along with Kanye, Erykah Badu, The XX, Crystal Castles, Nas, Grizzly Bear, and about a million other representations of music’s finest.
