The tour will kick-off on September 7 in Chicago and will work its way across the Northeastern part of the US, make its rounds in the South and in the center of the country, and finish off with several shows on the West coast. The final show will be on October 11 in Vancouver, and will be the only performance outside of the US.

Reggae singer Chronixx will open for Nas and Hill for 11 of the shows while comedian Hannibal Buress will open the remaining 6.

Hill, who many consider to be a hip-hop legend, has not released an album since 2002’s MTV’s Unplugged No. 2.0. Before releasing her first solo album in 1998, the critically acclaimed The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Hill was a member of the Grammy winning rap group, Fugees.

Nas, who has had a far more prolific career than Hill, last released an album in 2012, Life Is Good. The rapper famously collaborated with Hill on the song “If I Ruled the World,” off of his 1996 album It Was Written.

Nas recently posted a picture on Hill’s birthday to his Instagram. “Singing Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder style to my soul sister Ms Lauryn Hill blessings and blessings love,” the rapper wrote.
