Fans around the continent can catch him starting October 12 on his 8-date “The Past 2 Present Tour” featuring special guest Key Glock known for viral solo tracks like “Ambition For Cash,” “Since 6ix,” and collaborations like “Major” with his late cousin and Paper Route Empire records founder, Young Dolph. Joining them on tour is emerging Toronto-based R&B artist RealestK, known best for his viral single “WFM.” Tickets are on sale now HERE, with the exception of The O2 Arena show, which will go on sale Friday, July 26 at 10 AM BST.

‘The Past 2 Present Tour’ will kick off at London’s iconic The O2 Arena on the fifth anniversary of Lil Tjay’s double platinum debut studio album, True 2 Myself, which was released in October 2019. Featuring guest appearances from Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, and others, the project debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart and helped launch his career. Fans in Europe can look forward to a nostalgic experience as they hear multi-platinum-certified hits from Tjay’s debut album like “F.N,” “Hold On,” and “Leaked.”

Lil Tjay burst onto the rap scene with a unique blend of swagger and lyrical prowess, quickly capturing the attention of millions. Following several multi-platinum albums and collaborations with Pop Smoke, Kid LaRoi, NBA Youngboy, Offset, French Montana, and Ice Spice, he’s accumulated over 15 billion global streams and accolades such as being featured in XXL’s Freshman Class of 2020 and Billboard’s 21 Under 21. His recent single, “June 22nd,” offers a raw, introspective look at the traumatic events leading up to him being shot, showcasing his euphonious voice and unique storytelling ability. This track is part of his latest album, 222, which highlights his artistic evolution since his platinum-certified 2021 release, Destined 2 Win.

Lil Tjay’s latest achievements have cemented his place in the rap world. His 2023 album 222 not only pushed the boundaries of his musical vulnerability and skill but also resonated deeply with audiences globally. The album’s success was followed by his highly-anticipated “The Good Life Tour” in 2024, featuring special guests Kalan.FrFr and Dina Ayada. This tour showcased Lil Tjay’s dynamic stage presence and ability to connect with fans, further solidifying his status as a major force in contemporary hip-hop.

Memphis-born rapper Key Glock will be the special guest on the tour where fans can expect to see him deliver his signature cold, stark, uncompromising verses. Key Glock is known for instant classic projects such as Yellow Tape and Yellow Tape 2 and two Dum and Dummer releases with his cousin and Paper Route Empire record label founder, Young Dolph. Coming off of his recent single “Big Big Money,” fans are highly-anticipating the release of his forthcoming project, GLOCKAVELI.

The Past 2 Present Tour will travel around the continent of Europe, starting at London’s iconic The O2 Arena then making its way through Amsterdam, Oslo, and Helsinki before taking over Brussels, Paris, Munich, and ending this leg in Berlin.

Fall in Love with Dmillyyy’s New EP “Cupid Pack”

Published

on

Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.

Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.

The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
