Somehow it's been five whole years since Drake went out on tour. It seems odd that it's been so long, considering Aubrey continues to work hard to ensure he's everything, everywhere, all at once. Since his last headlining tour with the Migos, he's released two solo albums, Certified Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind, and the collaborative record Her Loss with 21 Savage. During the same period, his tourmates, the Migos, broke up amidst the tragic death of member Takeoff.
It makes sense that Drake's latest tour is a bit of a retrospective. The It's All a Blur Tour will bring both 21 and the Champagne Papi to Miami-Dade Arena on Wednesday, June 28. While it certainly feels like the last few years have been a blur for us all, Aubrey will be celebrating the last decade of his illustrious career (à la Taylor Swift's Eras Tour), which includes dozens of chart records, such as the most top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (previously held by a little band called the Beatles). This year also happens to be the tenth anniversary of his album Nothing Was the Same, featuring emotional bangers such as "Hold On, We're Going Home" and "Started From the Bottom" and regarded by many as a hip-hop classic.
Meanwhile, 21 Savage also has become a household name in hip-hop thanks to some high-profile features. He evolved his solo style away from horrorcore rap on I Am > I Was, then returned to the dark and gritty style with Metro Boomin on Savage Mode II. His collabs with Drake have been especially fruitful — singles such as "Knife Talk" and "Jimmy Cooks," off of Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind respectively, became hits, and every song on the Her Loss album charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
All this probably means tickets for this show will be extremely hard to come by. Ticketmaster will hold several presales even before general admission tickets go on sale on Friday, March 17, and those have not gone well recently. All info on presales can be found at drakerelated.com.
