Hip hop artist T.I. to bring Hustle Gang Tour to The National in May

by | Mar 16, 2017 | HIP HOP & RAP

Fresh off his “Us or Else Tour” in Canada, Atlanta rapper T.I. just announced plans for his “Hustle Gang Tour” which will bring him to Richmond this spring.

The 36-city tour will kick off at the end of April in Mobile, Alabama and wrap up on June 11 in Jacksonville, Florida with T.I. making a stop at The National May 5. The rapper will also play a show in Norfolk May 6.

In August, the Southern rapper who rose to fame with hits like “What You Know”, “Whatever You Like”, and “Rubberband Man”, released the single “We Will Not” off his politically-charged project, Us Or Else which dropped Sept. 23 via TIDAL. The album focuses on race relations in America and aims to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

His latest effort and 10th studio album, Dime Trap, is set to be released this year.

Tickets for T.I.’s show at The National Fri., May 5 at 8 PM cost $37.50 – $57.50 and can be purchased here.
