i am OTHER/Fortune Ent/Atlantic recording artist Kap G has announced plans for a 10 city U.S. tour. The “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin Tour 2017” – co-headlined by Taylor Gang’s J.R. Donato – gets underway February 23rd at The Middle East in Boston, MA and then travels through early March (see attached itinerary). For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.therealkapg.com/tour.

The “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin Tour 2017” follows the recent arrival of Kap G’s acclaimed new single, “Freakin ‘N’ Geekin,” – the first offering from his upcoming new mixtape "Supa Jefe" coming in March – is available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Produced by Go Grizzly (Kevin Gates, Akon), the track has quickly earned attention from national media outlets including XXL, Rap-Up, and HotNewHipHop, which declared “the bouncy party banger could turn out to be Kap G's first 2017 hit.”

Kap G made his i am OTHER/Atlantic debut with last year’s acclaimed “EL SOUTHSIDE” mixtape, hosted by DJ Drama and available now on the iTunes Store, Google Play, Amazon, and Spotify. The project – which includes production from Pharrell Williams and guest spots from Young Thug, YFN Lucci, Nechie, and Ca$h Out – is highlighted by such tracks as “Don’t Need Em (Feat. Young Thug)” and the breakout single, “Girlfriend.” Hailed by Complex as “a low-key record without being subtle, a cold performance so icy it's as if it'd been chilled before release,” “Girlfriend” is joined by a blockbuster companion video, now exceeding 11 million views at Kap’s official YouTube channel alone – while the audio itself has received over 28 million streams worldwide. As if that weren’t enough, a very special “Girlfriend (Remix) (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign and Quavo)” is available now on the iTunes Store and Spotify.

Kap G has been hailed as one of the freshest and most important new voices in hip hop for his extraordinary musical chronicles of the Mexican-American experience. Raised in College Park, GA, the gifted rapper made his musical bones in high school, releasing a series of increasingly popular tracks including “Tatted Like Amigos (Feat. Chief Keef).” The next two years saw Kap unleash mixtapes (including 2014’s “LIKE A MEXICAN”) and tracks like the provocative “La Policia,” each earning him further praise and a wider mainstream audience.
