Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, SZA, Jay Rock and More Star in Championship Tour Video
Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad, SiR and Lance Skiiiwalker will also join the road trip.
In January, Top Dawg Entertainment shared the news that Kendrick Lamar, SZA, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, SiR and Lance Skiiiwalker will go on a Championship Tour. Today, TDE releases the promo video for the tour and it’s hilarious.
Paying homage to the Rocky franchise, the video follows every member of TDE training to hit the road. The video, directed by Jack Begert and Dave Free of the little homies, was made in collaboration with Lyft, which will provide an exclusive TDE app takeover for select cities and discounted rides. It is curious to see Zacari be included in the promo visual. He has worked with Isaiah Rashad and Ab-Soul in the past but his 2017 collab with Kendrick Lamar on DAMN.‘s “LOVE.” is what made him a name. HYPEBEAST has reached out to TDE’s representatives for clarification on whether Zacari is officially signed to the label.
The 29-date Championship Tour, which will feature Isaiah Rashad on select dates, starts on May 4 in Vancouver and ends on June 16 in Pittsburgh. TDE has been receiving some great news as of late. Kendrick Lamar just won a Pultizer Prize, SZA has become a bonafide superstar and Black Panther The Album Music, which was co-created by Lamar and label CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in February.
