He sets out on tour next week.

Bay Area artist Rexx Life Rajj has made good on his promise and delivered his latest record, Father Figure 3: Somewhere Out There at the top of Wednesday morning. The multifaceted artist's album is where hip hop-meets-soul-meets-R&B, and he called on a handful of talents to lend their gifts to the project. Each of Raj's collaborations with Russ, Bas, Jay Prince, Kenny Beats, and Kehlani are their own journeys with an energy unlike the others. 

On Monday, Raj embarks on his very first headlining tour, a feat that he admitted has him feeling a little nervous. He told us he's doing his best not to pay attention to ticket sales, but no matter what they may be, he's still going to give his fans everything he has. "I'm just super excited and I'm just super blessed and fortune," he told us exclusively. "If I pulled up to New York and only five people came out I'd still be happy because I know there's a lot of people who can't do that, who don't have the opportunity. So I just try not to take it for granted." Give Father Figure 3: Somewhere Out There a spin or two and let us know what you think.
