AceShowbiz - French Montana is hitting the road soon and he's taking fellow artists with him. The Moroccan-American emcee will travel across North America this summer, joined by Fivio Foreign and Fabolous on some dates.
The 39-year-old announced the tour on Wednesday, May 15. The trek is set to kick off on August 1 at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT. He will then make stops in other cities like Chicago, Toronto, Boston and Pittsburgh among others.
French will wrap things up on August 25 at The Fillmore Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The presale starts on Thursday, May 16, while general sales begin on Friday.
The announcement came after French dropped her latest project, "Mac & Cheese 5". Arriving in February, the set consists of 21 songs and features guest appearances from Bryson Tiller, Lil Durk, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, JID, Westside Gunn and others.
Kanye and Rick made appearances twice on the record. Ye lends his vocal on "Where They At" and "Stand United", while Rozay raps on "Splash Brothers" and "Millionaire Row".
French, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, previously teased a tracklist featuring Drake, Future, and other artists. However, they didn't make it on the final rendition.
During a sit-down with "The Breakfast Club", French explained Drake's absence from the LP. The Toronto native was initially intended to appear on a record titled "Big Pun", which ultimately never came out. "[Me and Drake] did [make music], but we got the documentary coming out in June. He executive produced, and so we're just going to push the records back to then," he said.
"Me and Kanye were locked in for like a month. He had rented out the hotel for like a month, and we knocked out a [bunch of records]," French continued. "[Kanye and I] were doing two different sounds. When I was coming in, we was doing the sample vibes, and we was doing that whole him producing and the whole Graduation sound. But then the new sound he got now, it was something he was working on. So, I was like, 'You know what, bro? I'ma take these records and put 'em on Mac & Cheese 5 'cause Mac & Cheese 5 got a certain sound.' "
