Raekwon & Mobb Deep’s Havoc Announce Co-Headlining 30th Anniversary Tour: See the Dates

Raekwon and Mobb Deep shifted hip-hop with their 1995 albums, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and The Infamous, respectively — now they’re hitting the road for a co-headlining 30th anniversary tour to celebrate.

The Wu-Tang Clan rapper and Mobb Deep’s Havoc announced the North American trek on Tuesday (Aug. 12) with artist pre-sale set for Wednesday (Aug. 13) while the general public’s tickets hit the market on Friday (Aug. 15) at 10 a.m. local showtime.

“Me and Havoc from Mobb will be pure hip-hop at its finest. This is gonna take rap shows to the next level — guaranteed,” Raekwon said in a statement.

Havoc added that “fans can expect nothing less than pure, raw, unfiltered energy on stage. I’m excited to celebrate these two legendary albums — the world doesn’t exist to me without that purple tape in it. This will be a tour the fans will never forget.”

The 19-date tour is slated to kick off in Portland on Nov. 13 and will run through San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Philly, Atlanta and wrap up in Miami Beach on Dec. 15.

The Infamous served as Havoc and the late Prodigy’s magnum opus sophomore album, which reached No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in 1995. Prodigy passed away in 2017 at the age of 42 due to accidental choking after a lifelong battle with sickle-cell anemia.

As for Rae, the Chef cooked up his Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… debut album in August 1995, which entered the charts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

Raekwon’s still sharpening his lyrical sword, as the rap legend delivered his The Emperor’s New Clothes album in July.
