Drake Announces Club Paradise Tour Dates
He’s gearing up for a big year in 2012, and Drake has just announced his headlining tour dates for his upcoming Club Paradise outing.
The “Take Care” rapper will hit the road on Valentine’s Day in Miami, Florida before hitting 17 North American cities with his traveling roadshow.
Drake noted that rather than going huge this time around, he made sure to keep things more intimate for his loyal fans.
"I fought for this tour, I fought really hard for this tour because, of course, they want me to go get the big bucks, go into the stadiums and cash out. But I was just like, I really made this album for the same people that supported me since day one."
He’s also looking to introduce new talent to the masses. "I spent a lot of time out there [in Toronto]; that's what this album is about. That's what I'm gonna showcase. It's the same thing with the tour: I wanna bring Kendrick, I wanna bring A$AP, those are guys that I love. It has nothing to do with people on my label. Tyga's out, Nicki's working on an album and everybody else is doing their thing on the road with Wayne or with Wayne in the studio, so I just sort of showcased the music that I happen to love right now, and those are the two guys that I'm bringing out."
