In follow-up to his 2012 smash hit album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, Kendrick Lamar has officially announced his spring tour. Aside from the multiple festival appearances along the way, Lamar will be making stops across U.S. college campuses as raving students celebrate the end of the school year.
The Verge Campus tour kicks off in April and will carry on through May, with many shows featuring legendary electronic producer Steve Aoki. It may seem brief, but Lamar will be working hard, playing 24 shows in April alone, most of which are back to back. The tour is sponsored by Karmaloop, eMuze and Neff Headwear.
Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, released on October 22, 2012, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 242,000 copies in its first week. The album also generated 2.8 million streaming plays on Spotify, peaked at No. 16 on the UK Albums Chart, and is now certified gold, selling 808,000 copies by March 2013.
In other Kendrick news, the star rapper will also be featured on an upcoming remix of Miguel's "How Many Drinks."
Lamar will take the stage this spring and is sure to continue barreling forward with his rapidly blossoming career. Check out the Verge Campus tour dates below.
