Tuesday 16th July 2013 | Moses
Fresh off ripping the stage at the Wireless Festival this past weekend, Jay-Z announced the European leg of his Magna Carta World Tour. Starting on October 3rd in Manchester, Jay-Z will make his way through Birmingham and London for a number of live shows. No stranger to the U.K scene, Jay-Z is familiar with the British crowd as he's performed last year on his Watch the Throne tour with Kanye West as well as performing at BBC's radio 1 Weekender in Hackney. Along with performing a deep catalogue of hits, Jay-Z is also known for bringing out surprise guests. One such moment was this past sunday when he electrified the crowd by bringing out Rihanna for a performance of "Run This Town". It's not often HOV comes to the U.K, so get your tickets now because this will surely be one of the best shows of the year.
Loso a.k.a Fabolous will also be bringing his talents to the UK this autumn, with shows announced in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London. A 10 plus year veteran in Rap, Fabolous has enjoyed a successful and consistent career which includes 5 studio albums and multiple hit singles. Having last performed in the UK during 2011, Fabolous will surely be eager to bring his A-game for he's UK fans. Fans can be sure to expect some of Fab's classics such as 'Throw it in the bag", "Breathe" and "Into You" as well as material off his upcoming album Loso's Way 2 such as "Ready" and "When I feel like it".
With he's fourth album officially released today, Trials & Tribulations, Ace Hood will also be making he's way to the U.K. for a one-off show at the IndigoO2 this september. Coming up under DJ Khaled and now officially part of YMCMB, Ace Hood's career is surely about to reach the next level. From previous songs such as "Hustle Hard" and "Body to Body" Ace has shown he's ability to make hits and with he's latest single "Bugatti" one of the hottest rap records out right now,, fans should surely not miss the chance to see this rapper on the rise. Possessing one's the most signature flows in the rap game, fans can expect a vibrant and energetic show from Ace Hood.
Starting out as a local rapper from Pittsburgh, Wiz Khalifa has evolved into one of rap's most recognisable stars and will be be flying across to the U.K. for shows in Glasgow, London, Manchester and Birmingham. If by any small chance you don't know who Wiz Khalifa is, you would've surely heard he's smash hit "Black & Yellow" which peaked at number 1 in the US and number 2 in the UK. Not one to slow down, Wiz has also starred in the movie "Mac & Devin go to HIgh School" which also spurned the soundtrack single "Young, Wild & Free". With he's UK shows in September, expect nothing less than a great show. Fans should also look out for possible special appearances by Taylor gang members Juicy J, Lola Monroe and Ty Dolla $ign.
