Rapper Big K.R.I.T. is embarking on a major tour this fall. The Mississippi rhymer will launch the Pay Attention tour in October in support of his upcoming project, ‘Cadillactica.’
The 31-city North America trek kicks off Oct. 2 in Charlotte, N.C., and wraps up Nov. 15 in Atlanta.
K.R.I.T. plans to showcase new songs from ‘Cadillactica’ as well as address the social problems the hip-hop community is facing today.
“I am excited to get on the road,” said K.R.I.T. in a press release. “This tour will give fans a little taste of what is to come. I am traveling with a message, a message about our culture — where we were and what we have come to. I want to make sure people are paying attention to what is happening in their lives and in hip-hop today.”
Opening up for K.R.I.T. are Atlanta rap newcomers Two-9, who recently signed with Mike WiLL Made It’s Eardruma Records.
K.R.I.T. just released his first single, ‘Pay Attention,’ from the ‘Cadillactica’ album. The rapper can also be heard on Rick Ross’ ‘Supreme’ Remix featuring Fabolous and Ma$e.
