10/13/2011Wait a minute. We all know Drake for his role on Degrassi: The Next Generation but who on earth is Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky? Don’t worry. SeatGeek has you covered.

The Up-And-Comers

Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar, a Compton native, has been creating a lot of buzz in the hip-hop community with his conscious lyricism and a cool attitude. Just recently, he was crowned as the New King of the West Coast by Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Game. Even Pharrell himself took the time to compliment on Kendrick’s latest mixtape Section.80. Now that’s one heck of a co-sign.

ASAP Rocky

In the midst of all the negativity about young acts going against the essence of “real hip-hop”, ASAP Rocky is considered the strongest up-and-comer in the New York hip-hop scene. He just inked his first major record deal and is looking to release his first official mixtape titled Live Love ASAP. For now, check out songs like “Purple Swag” and “Peso”.

Why They Are Worth A Look

Remember J. Cole from Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour back in 2009? He was in the same boat as Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky. No one really knew about him then. But he continued to put out quality mixtapes like The Come Up and The Warm Up and slowly built up a loyal fan base. A couple weeks ago, J. Cole debuted at #1 with Cole World: The Sideline Story.

It won’t be surprising to see Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky blow up in the near future. And in my humble opinion, hip-hop is still in good hands.

As far as we know, The Club Paradise Tour is currently not scheduled to go to Los Angeles or San Francisco. We’ll keep you posted if things change though.

I’m not sure exactly why some of the shows are canceled. I’m guessing it’s because Drake is busy preparing for his highly anticipated album Take Care, which is scheduled to hit stores on November 15th.

UPDATE (11/17/2011)

I’ve added an up-to-date avg. ticket prices data along with some new tour dates/venue.Drake’s sophomore effort Take Care is now in stores and selling fast. Sources estimate around 700,000 total sales in its first week. Drake looks to take over Mac Miller who currently sits atop with Blue Slide Park that sold around 150,000 copies in its first week. He continues to add more tour dates so make sure to come back and keep yourself updated.

By yours truly. Skimmy.

Drake is making right by his fans and scheduling a new slate of dates across North America & Europe in 2012 after having postponed his tour this Fall. At the time, the rapper said he needed more time to finish his latest album “Take Care” and did not want to be distracted with both finishing the album and touring simultaneously.

Drake’s meticulous nature to his music paid off as “Take Care” debuted at the top of the charts with over 630,000 units sold. That is a significant number of units in today’s digital world. The album ended up having the third highest debut tally of 2011.

Drake Tour Dates (OLD)

DateLocationVenue

The “Club Paradise” tour will see Drake hit the road globally from February through April with tour stops in the U.S. and nine European countries. He won’t be hitting clubs though. Arenas and college campuses are what are in the plans for the tour. Back in October when the tour was originally postponed, Drake stated he would look to kick start the tour again when the kids were back from the holiday break. Looks like he is holding to his promise.

A presale for the European dates will be this Thursday with the general on sale taking place this Friday. On sale dates have yet to be announced for the U.S. dates so keep checking back with SeatGeek for details and for the best deals on secondary market tickets after they go on sale.
