300 Entertainment recording artist Young Thug has unveiled plans for his second ever US headline tour.

The “Hy!£UN35” tour will showcase songs from Young Thug’s catalogue, including “SLIME SEASON” and “SLIME SEASON 2” The former is highlighted by the radio hit, “Best Friend,” currently sitting in the top 10 at Urban radio. Directed by Be El Be, the track’s companion video is a blockbuster, approaching million views to date on Young Thug’s official YouTube channel.

The dates precede a busy slate of upcoming activities for Thugga including the third and final installment of his Slime Season trilogy, Slime Season 3 and his hugely anticipated debut album, “Hy!£UN35,” scheduled to arrive later this summer. The tour follows this year’s release of his “I’m Up” mixtape – home of the Mike WiLL Made-It-produced “F Cancer (Boosie) (Ft. Quavo),” and “For My People,” – in which the companion video, directed by Be El Be is now streaming at https://youtu.be/ObXGRPNzX60.

What’s more, Young Thug has recently made a few high profile appearances including a role in Kanye’s Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show followed by a star-studded performance of Kanye’s “Highlights,” on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. In a greater effort to let fans know what it’s like to walk a day in his shoes, Thugga allowed GQ ‘s editorial director to shadow him in his hometown, Atlanta for a few days – which led to an unprecedented interview that solidified the sentiment – “There’s nothing about Young Thug that’s not a paradox.”
