Tracey’s LP ‘Flu Game’ was released last week (April 16). The album features appearances from stars including Mabel, Digga D, Kehlani, T-Pain, NAV, MoStack, and more. ‘Flu Game’ is currently battling it out with London Grammar for the Number One spot on this week’s UK album chart. Tracey had previously teased the tour announcement on Twitter:

‘Flu Game’ sees Tracey embrace a basketball aesthetic, framing himself as the Jordan of rap. Tracey previously announced the record via a fake press conference which aired live on YouTube in March. The video saw him play the role of a basketball star who had recently signed on to a team called Revenge Athletic. Tracey answers questions from journalists saying that he doesn’t feel any “pressure” about joining the “big leagues”, and said he’s “ready to get going”.
More recently the West London rap star was in the news as organisers of an impromptu AJ Tracey gig were fined £10,000 for breaking coronavirus legislation after thousands of fans flocked to Platt Fields Park in Manchester on April 18th to see the rapper.
AJ Tracey’s tour tickets will be on presale from Wednesday (Apr 21) at 10am. General sale tickets will be available to purchase from Friday (Apr 23) at 10am.
