Earl Sweatshirt has announced the “FIRE IT UP!” tour in support of last year’s Some Rap Songs, one of the best albums of the year. Support comes from New York rapper MIKE (whose recent album War In My Pen is cut from a very similar cloth as Some Rap Songs and has some of the same collaborators), Bbymutha, Na-Kel Smith, Liv.e, and Black Noi$e.

The tour hits NYC’s Irving Plaza on March 30. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (2/1) at 10 AM with Live Nation/Citi presales starting Thursday (1/31) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

Along with the tour announcement, Earl released a short film directed by Naima Ramos-Chapman and Terence Nance, titled “Nowhere, Nobody” and featuring music from Some Rap Songs. Watch that, and the tour trailer, below.
