The Tour:
Iamsu! & Problem, two of the most-talked about solo artists in all of rap are bringing their incredible live show to a city near you. After dropping one of the top albums of 2013 thus far and lighting SXSW up with over a dozen appearances, it's time for the entire country to witness rap's next big thing. The first leg of the Million Dollar Afro Tour, named after their critical accliamed collaboration album of the same name, kicks off on April 12th in Portland and will include dates in Seattle, Northern and Southern California, Phoenix, and New York.
For Su!, it’s clear 2013 will be just as busy if not busier than 2012 was for him. Last year, he collaborated with Wiz Khalifa, 50 Cent, and E-40, was hailed by SPIN, Stereogum, and The FADER as one the best rising artists of the year, and ended the year converting more fans with the release of his $uzy 6 $peed mixtape. Problem has been just as busy, working with artists like Snoop Dogg, E-40, Chris Brown, and releasing his own solo tape, Welcome To Mollywood 2, in late 2012, with the project earning accolades from SPIN ("Rap Release Of The Week"), VIBE, Complex, and more. Now, after the February release of the two rappers' Million Dollar Afro mixtape and storming through Austin at SXSW, Iamsu! and Problem will team up in April and May tearing up the West Coast and NYC, proving why everyone wants a piece of them.

The Background:
2012 was nothing short of a breakout year for Iamsu!. The 22-year-old popped up with a triple-threat performance on LoveRance's "UP!," which Su! produced, penned the hook for, and guested on with a scene-stealing verse. The song peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and in the midst of that success, Su! again delivered a fan-favorite verse on a big-time radio single, this time with E-40's "Function." Su! followed that success with a solo mixtape, KILT, and the critical acclaim came in droves, as the project was hailed by SPIN as their Rap Release Of The Week, with the outlet also naming Su! as one of their 5 Best New Artists for June '12. Su!'s been plenty busy since – a west coast tour; a collaborative mixtape with Jay Ant; a standout collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, "Bout Me," that appeared on Khalifa's Cabin Fever 2 and will also show up on his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C. Now, Iamsu! is prepping a new mixtape, $uzy 6 $peed, which was released exclusively through LiveMixtapes on November 10th. The tape is presented by Bay Area streetwear company Pink Dolphin, which will release an exclusive t-shirt and hoody for the tape. Iamsu! is back to work already in 2013, with the recent release of Million Dollar Afro, a collaborative mixtape with Compton rapper Problem, and plenty more solo music planned for the coming months.
