At the top of the new year, Chicago rapper Chief Keef dropped his latest mixtape, Two Zero One Seven, and now, as all working rappers must, Keef is reaching his arms across the country with a slew of new live dates to support it.
Keef’s outing has been appropriately dubbed the “Two Zero One Seven Tour,” and it’s set to hit major markets from sea to shining sea, including Erie, Pennsylvania and two entirely separate Oklahoma shows. The tour starts this Saturday in New Orleans.
In a way, Keef’s bold move to tour the tape makes sense because — and I’m sure this is just a remarkable coincidence — the mixtape’s title actually spells out “2017,” and despite what I may have scribbled out on my rent check this month, that is the current year.
Anyway, here, have some dates.
