Grammy nominated Canadian Toronto Rapper Drake has announced his first ever North American solo tour with the launch of “The Away From Home Tour.”
Drake will hit the road for 25 dates with fellow Canadian rapper K-Os and New York City based synth-pop band, Francis & The Lights.
The 25-date tour will kick off on April 5 at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois and will wind down May 8 in Plymouth, New Hampshire at a private location.
Drake has teamed with Reverb, a non-profit environmental organization, to make the tour eco-friendly , by “greening” the tour using biodiesel fuel in his tour bus, in addition to using biodegradable and recycled products on his tour bus and backstage.
Drake will play a variety of festivals on the tour, including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and The Bamboozle festival.

Kanye West’s outspoken reputation has left him on the outside looking in, says the gossip site Popeater. Tomorrow, celebrities from various mediums will partake in a George Clooney-hosted telethon to raise aid and relief for last week’s tragic earthquake in Haiti, a disaster that has reportedly taken the lives of nearly 200,000.
Not invited was Kanye West, who previously stirred controversy when he said, then-United States President “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” Someone on the production staff spoke to Popeater, and cited that 2005 incident, as well as the MTV Video Music Awards incident with Taylor Swift last year as reason enough to not include the Chicago superstar.
“Kayne [sic] has to make everything about himself. He will do anything to steal the spotlight and, well, this night it’s just not about him,” said the anonymous “producing partner.”
The special, airing tomorrow evening on all major networks, including MTV, will however feature on-site reporting in Haiti from Wyclef Jean. The onetime Fugees front-man and prolific producer has raised over one million dollars in aid in less than a week.
