Chief Keef's hologram is coming to a city near you.

Despite having a major influence on a whole generation of artists, it's been rare to see Chief Keef go on tour. Much of that has to do with the numerous legal issues he's dealt with earlier on in his career that have unfortunately had an impact on his ability to travel. But it's 2018 and pretty much anything is possible with technology. Regardless of travel limitations, the rapper, or atleast his hologram, is coming to a city near you.

Chief Keef's isn't allowing his travel restrictions stop him from connecting to his fans. According to Billboard, the rapper is set to embark on a worldwide hologram tour that will kick off in London. Keef and Hologram USA Inc. have linked up to announce the "Chief Keef And Icons Of American Music" tour. The show will last for 90 minutes and start in London on August 31st and September 1st before hitting his hometown of Chicago and embarking on a tour across the U.S. The details on the U.S. leg has yet to be announced.

Back in 2015, the rapper tried to host another hologram concert in Hammond, Indiana which was ultimately shut down.

"Police and the mayor wanted to stop my hologram show in Chicago. Fuck Rahm Emanuel, I'm bringing it anyway. First up, London," Chief Keef said to Billboard.

In addition to a holographic performance from Chief Keef, Tupac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg and N.W.A are among other artists set to make cameos during the concert.
