Drake, Future Taking Flight Around North America

The tour currently spans 32 dates, starting in Austin, Texas on July 20 and concluding in Vancouver, British Columbia on Sept. 17.

Live Nation is organizing and promoting the tour, while the poster has Apple Music and Them Boys up to Something as sponsors. According to the Verge, this is the first time Apple has sponsored any musician’s tour.

Drake will be performing music from his upcoming album View, which is slated for release on April 29. That album will feature already well-known radio hits such as “Hotline Bling”, “One Dance” and “Summer Sixteen”.

Future and Drake collaborated on the What a Time to Be Alive mixtape, which helped to popularize “trap” music, a particular subset of hip-hop. They also worked together on “Where ya at” from Future’s DS2 album.

The pair are considered two of the most influential rappers in the industry at the moment, with Future’s syncopation and autotune style spawning a generation of imitators and Drake moving with six years of largely uninterrupted momentum.

In a 2014 GQ interview Kanye West acknowledged that Drake was the most popular man in rap, although the subject is constantly up for debate among genre enthusiasts.
