LeBron James Co-Signs Rising Bronx Rapper Connie Diiamond: "She Bodied That Sh*t!!!"
On Wednesday (April 5), the TDE MC revealed the music news on his Instagram with a graphic showing the 17-city trek.
The Intelligent Movement Tour will be Ab’s first stint since 2017’s “YMF” tour with UK rapper Little Simz — named after the last track on his fourth studio-album Do What Thou Wilt.
Just last month the “No Report Card” spitter mentioned going on tour as well as dropping a deluxe version of his current album Herbert. He also teased a follow up album to the latter, to which he wants A&R assistance from NBA living-legend LeBron James.
Back in January, Ab and LeBron met at a Los Angeles Lakers versus San Antonio Spurs game, where the California rapper asked the Lakers MVP to have an executive role on his next LP.
Ab-Soul Calls On LeBron James To A&R His Next Album
“You really the right of passage,” the 36-year-old rapper said following an embracing hug. “Top [Dawg] told me to ask you if you would A&R the next album.”
LeBron responded, “Yeah, I can do that.”
The four-time NBA champion then blessed Ab-Soul with the kicks he’d worn during his winning game that evening. See below.
LeBron has been a proud Ab-Soul fan for some time now. Back in December, Bronny tweeted out, “Ab-Herbert-Soul is so COLD MAN!!!!!!” and recently rapped the lyrics to “Message In A Bottle” on his Instagram story.
The baller has become a trusted ear in Hip-Hop over the years, as he’s played A&R for 2 Chainz on his 2019 album Rap Or Go To The League and co-signed rising talent like New York’s Connie Diiamond.
As for now, Ab hasn’t unveiled any more info on the next album or if James will actually A&R it, but in the meantime, tickets for Ab-Soul’s The Intelligent Movement tour are available here.
