Drake’s OVO Sound artist 4batz is embarking on his first-ever headlining tour, the “Thank You, Jada Tour.” The tour, consisting of nine dates, will kick off on July 29 at Chicago’s Avondale Music Hall and will traverse through major cities such as Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and culminate at Oakland’s KMEL Summer Jam on Aug. 10.
This tour follows the release of 4batz’s debut EP “U Made Me a St4r,” which dropped two months prior to the tour announcement. The EP, released via 4batz/gamma, features 11 tracks, including his debut single “Act I: Stickerz ’99,” the popular “Act II: Date @ 8” which gained significant traction after a remix by Drake, and the Ye remix of “Act III: On God? (She Like).” “U Made Me a St4r” debuted at No. 2 on Top R&B Albums, marking a significant milestone in 4batz’s career.
In an interview with Billboard for the 2024 edition of their 21 Under 21 List, 4batz expressed his satisfaction with the EP’s reception, stating that it showcased his versatility as an artist. He looks forward to showcasing more of his capabilities to his fans during the upcoming tour.
The “Thank You, Jada Tour” holds a special significance for the Dallas, Texas rapper 4batz as it is inspired by his ex-girlfriend, Jada, who served as the muse for his debut EP. In an interview with Complex, he revealed that every song on the project is dedicated to her, acknowledging her role in his journey to stardom. Despite the personal nature of the project, 4batz sees it as an opportunity to express gratitude to both his ex-girlfriend and his fans, who have played a crucial role in his success.
The tour announcement coincides with a bustling summer for Hip Hop and R&B fans, with notable artists like Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko, Future, and Metro Boomin also embarking on tours during the same period.
