Nas, Wu-Tang Clan Team Up For 'NY State Of Mind' Tour
By Tony M. Centeno
April 19, 2022
Nas has performed with several legendary artists over the years. Following his unforgettable medley at the 64th Grammy Awards, the New York native is preparing to hit the road with fellow iconic lyricists Wu-Tang Clan.
In an announcement that was posted on Tuesday, April 19, Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan revealed dates for their co-headlined NY State of Mind tour. The 25-city tour is scheduled to begin in August at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, Mo. The show will hit major cities across the U.S. and Toronto, Canada before concluding at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in October.
Fans should be prepared to see Nas like they've never seen him before. The Mass Appeal rapper has dropped plenty of new music since the last time he toured from his Grammy award-winning album King's Disease album (and its sequel) to his most recent project Magic produced by Hit-Boy. Ahead of the tour, Nas has also released music videos for "Wave Gods" featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier as well as "Ugly," which dropped shortly after the tour was announced.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
Although GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah recently toured together last year, it's been awhile since all nine rappers (Rest in peace, Ol' Dirty Bastard) from the Wu-Tang Clan have gotten together to co-headline a tour. Tickets will officially go on sale via Live Nation on April 26. Check out the full show below to find out when Nas and Wu-Tang Clan will be coming to a city near you.
