Young Thug On His Hi-Horse

Rapper Young Thug is hitting the road for a full U.S. tour. 21 Savage is getting in on the action on select dates.

The trek, titled the “Hi-Horse’d Tour”, will run just over a month, from Baltimore, Md., Nov. 9 until Dec. 18 at New York’s Terminal 5. The routing lingers on the West Coast, with four shows in California and one apiece in Seattle and Portland.

Young Thug also appears at Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco next month and is set to play Sound on Sound Festival in McDade, Texas, before the headline tour kicks off in November. He is also opening a one-off show for T.I. in Detroit Nov. 2.

Thugger’s voice switches from cracking to comical growls to autotune on Jeffrey, and his lyrics sometimes walk the line of un-understandable. He is not afraid to experiment with his own sound though, and he is becoming renowned for his work ethic, which, again, has led him to three full-length releases in a single year.
