Anuel AA announces fall tour, including Barclays Center

Latin trap trailblazer Anuel AA released his debut studio album Real Hasta la Muerte last year and he’s kept going with a steady string of singles this year, including the recently released “China” (which samples Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me”) with Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin which has a video that you can watch below. He’s about to wrap up his ‘Real Hasta la Muerte Tour Part 2’ in Texas this month, and he has also now announced the ‘Emmanuel World Tour’ with North American dates this fall.

The newly-added dates include a big Brooklyn show on December 12 at Barclays Center. Tickets for that show are on Ticketmaster presale now and the public on-sale starts Friday (7/26) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

Anuel also recently talked to XXL about sampling Shaggy, working with Meek Mill, and more:

Your new single, “China,” samples Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me.” Why did you choose that sample for your new song?

Anuel AA: I was trying to redo a classic for the club. I started listening to a lot of old songs. When I heard [“It Wasn’t Me”], I was like, That’s the one that was a big hit back in the day.

I remember [the song from] when I was a little kid. Everybody used to listen to that in the clubs. When I used to go with the big boys in my hood to the club, they put that song on and everybody used to go crazy. I was like, this gotta be the song. Shaggy used to work a lot with Spanish artists, so I already knew it wasn’t going to be a problem with the release.

How did you end up on Meek Mill’s “Uptown Vibes”?

I knew Meek since six years ago, before I was famous. At that time, Ross had just signed me to develop my career. It was different, though, because they dominated the English industry, not the Spanish [industry]. That’s how I met Meek. I used to see him when he dropped “I’ma Boss,” all those Dreamchaser mixtapes. I came back to Puerto Rico and all of a sudden I just blew up, but I got locked up. And I didn’t know anything about none of them ’til I came out. Meek was like, “Yo, what’s up with dude? He blew up, I need him for a song.” And we just did it.
