Soulquarians Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey are pairing up for the 25-date ‘Unfollow Me’ tour, which begins in June.
Legendary Soulquarians Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) are bringing their catalogs on the road this summer. The artists announced that they’ll be embarking on the 23-date ‘Unfollow Me’ Tour this summer, which begins in San Antonio, Texas on June 11 — also hitting Los Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago, and more before wrapping up in Badu’s hometown of Dallas on July 23.
Badu, who hasn’t released a project since 2015’s But You Caint Use My Phone, is slated to release a collaborative project with Madlib, which the producer teased on a recent appearance on Sway in the Morning. Last month, the 52-year-old Dallas native also released a cannabis strain named “That Badu” with marijuana entrepreneur Berner.
In 2024, a Karmeryn Alexa Carter-penned book about Badu’s 2010 album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh will be released via 333 Sound.
Yasiin Bey last released No Fear of Time as one-half of the hip-hop duo Black Star with Talib Kweli last May and will next appear on “Blaaaaack!” from Black Thought’s upcoming album Streams of Thought, Vol 4.
“It’s a timeless classic. It’s been in my vault for a couple of years already,” Thought told The FADER about the song. “It could come out at any point in time, and it’ll still represent a seismic shift in the game just because of how powerful it is and what it speaks to.”
