JOYNER LUCAS DIALS UP “THE 508 TOUR”
WORCESTER, MA-BASED RAPPER CELEBRATES “508-507-2209

WITH BIGGEST NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR TO DATE
TREK BEGINS SEPTEMBER 18TH IN PHILADELPHIA, PA
508-507-2209” AVAILABLE NOW

Atlantic recording artist Joyner Lucas has unveiled plans for his biggest headline tour to date. “The 508 Tour” begins September 18th at Philadelphia, PA’s Trocadero Balcony and then continues through an eagerly awaited tour finale at Washington DC’s Songbyrd on October 15th. Highlights include an appearance at Atlanta, GA’s upcoming A3C Music Festival, slated for October 8th. Music on the road will come from his recently released project, “508-507-2209” and support will come from Solo Jones. Tickets go on sale to the general public on August 3rd; pre-sale tickets are available to his fan club today August 2nd. All tickets and VIP packages will be available at www.joynerlucas.com.
Hailed by XXL as “one of the fastest-rising names out of the New England area,” Joyner Lucas has made an exhilarating debut with his premiere label project, “508-507-2209,” available now at all digital retailers and streaming services. The project was recently heralded by an extremely powerful new video, “Just Like You.” The self-directed clip – which confronts the difficulties faced by children raised in a world without heroic role models – is streaming now at the Worcester, MA-based rapper’s official YouTube channel.
508-507-2209” is further highlighted by the recently released single/video, “Ultrasound,” acclaimed by HotNewHipHop as “the latest showcase of Lucas’ dizzying verbal dexterity.” Produced by DECAP, “Ultrasound” is streaming now at YouTube as well as streaming services nationwide.
508-507-2209” has also begun earning national applause with XXL declaring it “a showcase of the sort of technical mastery that made Joyner into one of rap’s most exciting up-and-comers.” “Lucas crafted an album where his trials and tribulations stand in for our own,” raved DJBOOTH, “his victories even more so…(Lucas’) music maintains its satisfying nucleus of incisive storytelling mixed with street edge, but all the details are more vivid and pristine. The production artfully matches the tone and themes of his lyrics, and Lucas raps with the confidence of an artist that can finally focus on their art and nothing else.”
Joyner Lucas first captured national attention with the complex verbal gymnastics of 2014’s “Backwords,” followed in 2015 by his debut mixtape, “ALONG CAME JOYNER” and its extraordinary breakthrough single, “Ross Capicchioni.” The track – and its provocative companion visual – chronicles the true story of a Detroit gang shooting, told from the perspectives of both the teenage victim and the shooter himself. “Ross Capicchioni” drew widespread acclaim in throughout the hip-hop universe, with the legendary Busta Rhymes declaring himself so “amazed…I can’t even put it into words.” The epic video proved a viral sensation, with over 4.3 million streams at YouTube alone.
Lucas continued to make his bones with a memorable spot on the 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, collaborations alongside such like-minded artists as Jarren Benton, Locksmith, TechN9ne, and Logic, as well as a pair of remarkably strong singles, “Happy Birthday” and “I’m Sorry,” both of which saw him displaying astonishing lyrical skills and a striking social consciousness. “I’m Sorry” – included on “508-507-2209” – has proven Lucas’ biggest viral success thus far, now approaching 10 million individual views at YouTube alone.
