This summer, Aesop Rock will release his latest solo LP, Skelethon. Once the collection is out, the San Francisco-based hip-hip hero will go about spreading the word by hitting the road for a North American tour.

As Pitchfork reports, the outing kicks off in mid-July on the West Coast. The rapper will make his way up to Vancouver on July 20, when he will perform at Venue. Later that month, he'll play Toronto and Montreal on July 30 and 31, respectively. After that, it's more U.S. dates through the first half of August.
