Nearly six months since the release of his third studio album It’s Only Me, Lil Baby is now gearing up for the LP’s accompanying tour.

On Monday (April 10), the Atlanta icon posted a trailer and announcement for the It’s Only Us Tour, where he will be joined by supporting acts The Kid LAROI, GloRilla, Rylo Rodriguez, Hunxho, and Gloss Up. Laying on a floatie in his swimming pool, Baby FaceTime calls each of his openers in the trailer to discuss the tour with them.
“I think I owe my fans a little sum’ sum’,” he said to The Kid LAROI over the phone. “I wanna do something for them, and I wanna kinda involve you in it.”
The It’s Only Us Tour will see Baby and Co. start on July 26 in Houston, Texas, following up a festival performance from Lil Baby at Governors Ball (June 10). Altogether, the tour will hit 22 different states and Washington D.C., finishing off on Sept. 22 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Tickets for the show go on sale to the public on Thursday (April 13) at 10 a.m. local time, while each city has its own pre-sale offers available as well.
Of the five openers joining Baby, only Rylo Rodriguez found himself as a featured guest on It’s Only Me. While he has not worked with any of the other acts before, perhaps Baby will use this time to build relationships and work on music with either LAROI, GloRilla, Hunxho, or Gloss Up.
In early March, rumors began to circulate that Lil Baby and Drake could have a collaborative album in the works. While neither party has publicly mentioned a joint project, South African DJ Black Coffee said in a recent interview that the rumor was confirmed to him by Coach K, co-founder of Lil Baby’s label Quality Control.
Both on tour this summer, it will likely be a long time before listeners would be able to receive an LP from Drake and Lil Baby, if the reports are even true. But either way, fans still have an exciting opportunity to see their favorite rappers live at some point this summer.
