Irish rapper Alexander Anyaegbunam, known by his stage name Rejjie Snow, has announced his UK and Ireland ‘By Myself Tour‘– the tickets went on sale today along with the release of his new album.
Rejjie Snow has built up an impressive reputation as one of Ireland’s most successful rappers. The tickets for his greatly anticipated By Myself Tour, which begins in Brighton on September 25th, went on general sale today at 9am. You can still grab yours on the rapper’s official website.
Kicking off in Brighton, the tour will consist of other stops in Cambridge, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Leeds. The UK and Ireland tour will then end in Alexander’s hometown – at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, on October 11th.
The tour could not be more perfectly timed, with the release of Rejjie’s second studio album ‘Baw Baw Black Sheep’ coming out today (Friday July 9th) – the same day as general ticket release for the tour. The album is tied together nicely with beats that transition smoothly between jazz and soul. Before today, fans waited eagerly for the albums release but remained temporarily satisfied with four previous releases – including the populat ‘Cookie Chips’ featuring the late MF DOOM.
‘Baw Baw Black Sheep’ will be a main focus for the tour. Concerning this album, Rejjie has stated that:
“I approached [the album] light heartedly from the point of view of making a short film through music. I always loved Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I watch it all the time. I thought of Baw Baw Black Sheep like a soundtrack to it. I put the movie on with my album, and they synced up perfectly”.
“I tried to tap into all of these feelings. The music is really colourful, and the lyrics are often happy, because that was my state of mind.”
