Some of the biggest names in hip hop and comedy are coming together this fall: it’s just been announced that Hannibal Buress will be joining Lauryn Hill and Nas on tour.
The most major part of this news is that ex-Fugee Hill and legendary Illmatic rapper Nas will be sharing a stage — these days, stand-ups joining music tours isn’t exactly new (Kate Berlant opened for Father John Misty on his 2013 tour!), but it is smart. With so much cultural crossover, it’s a great way for comics to widen their audience, and vice versa. Plus, what comedian doesn’t want to feel like a rockstar?!
Tickets are on sale now over at Live Nation.
