Nas and Kehlani are hitting the road with Lauryn Hill on her “MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! Tour.”
The rap icon and Oakland songstress, along with Noname and Little Simz, have been added to select dates of the three-month trek, which kicks off Thursday (Sept. 1) in Chicago, according to Billboard.
Kehlani will warm up the crowd in New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. Meanwhile, Nas will join L-Boogie in San Fran and the Emerald City.
The full run, featuring sets from Seun Anikulapo Kuti, Paul Beaubrun, and the Soul Rebels, is scheduled to wrap Dec. 18 in Silver Springs after hitting cities like Los Angeles, Boston, and Las Vegas.
In the middle of the North American run, Ms. Hill will also be heading to Japan for three dates (Oct. 25, 27, 29).
“The MLH Caravan allows me to continue the theme of unity and celebration of the many facets of cultural and artistic beauty throughout the African diaspora while on tour this summer and fall,” said Hill.
