Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly is still among the very best rap albums released this year, but unfortunately, we still haven't seen a proper tour in support of the ambitious LP.
Today, Lamar has shared dates for the "Kunta's Groove Sessions" tour, which he teased as "8 cities. 8 nights, 8 intimate shows" earlier this week. The poster also promised "Music! Dance! Performance! and More!".
If we've counted correctly, there are actually 9 shows on the bill (though Washington, DC shows up twice), and Jay Rock will be opening things up on four of them. K-Dot will be backed by his band Wesley's Theory throughout the tour.
