By Alex HudsonBlack Milk recently showed off his live chops by teaming up with Jack White for a Third Man Records live album (plus a seven-inch single). Soon, fans will have a chance to hear the Detroit rapper in the flesh, as he's preparing to hit the North American road in the coming months.
The jaunt will last for more that a month, from late February through the end of March. There are 25 dates in all, making this a seriously busy outing. In addition to plenty of U.S. dates, Black Milk will be coming to our country for two shows: Toronto's Great Hall on March 8 and Vancouver's Fortune Sound Club on March 24.
The trek has been dubbed the "Claps and Slaps Tour," and a Facebook event page notes that the rapper will be backed by a full live band.
