Fresh off the release of his
Layers album, Royce Da 5’9″
is hitting the road for an extensive tour that will take him through
Canada and across the United States. The run kicks off tonight (April
28) in Vancouver, BC and wraps up June 29 in Seattle, Wash.
Layers debuted at No. 1 on
Billboard‘s
“R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart and in the Top 10 on the “Rap Albums”
chart, “Independent Albums” chart and the “Digital Albums” chart. The
17-track album features Rick Ross, Pusha T and Mr. Porter along with
production from AntMan Wonder, Jake One, Nottz and DJ Khalil.
“This album was the first album that I spent a lot of time putting it
together as a complete thought,” the rapper said in a press release.
“Most of my albums reflect an emotion based off of my feelings.
Death Is Certain was dark because of everything I was going through; this album reflects my emotion, but also my thoughts. That focus on
Layers comes after a gold album, multiple Top 5 chart appearances, and a high profile BET Hip Hop Awards cypher performance.
