In November, the artist will make rounds in major markets like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Nashville, among others.

Wave’s fifth full-length studio album, Nostalgia, is set to hit streaming platforms on Friday (Sept. 15). The project is preceded by singles like “Fight The Feeling,” “Come See Me,” and “Call Your Friends,” which collectively amassed over 10 million views on YouTube. The last-mentioned track debuted at No. 7 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Meanwhile, Lennox released her sophomore LP, age/sex/location, in 2022. Subsequently, she toured 27 dates in January with Alex Vaughn. The project boasted features from Lucky Daye, Chlöe, and Summer Walker while records such as “Hoodie” and “Pressure” rose to acclaim.
Toosii previously opened up for Wave’s “Beautiful Mind Tour” alongside Mariah the Scientist. In an interview with Angela Yee, he described what he anticipated the show run would look like. The North Carolina native shared, “It’s probably going to be the f**king saddest tour because I seen the comments, and they’re like, ‘Yo, I’ma be crying.’ I think people enjoy being sad nowadays. I don’t know why.”
He continued, “When I started seeing the tweets, I sat and started diving into the music, so I can see what the hell really going on. F**king Mariah the Scientist got ‘Spread Thin’ and s**t like that. Then you go into Rod Wave’s catalog, and he got everything. Then I started diving into my own s**t, and I was like, ‘Damn, this s**t finna be sad. Somebody gotta come out and turn this s**t up.'”
