Following the breakthrough success of his "I Need a Dollar" single and subsequent release of his Good Things LP, eclectic soul singer and rapper Aloe Blacc should be resting on the laurels of a year well done. Instead, he recently told Exclaim! that he's working on a hip-hop album with DJ Exile under the name Emanon. On top of that, he's launching the North American leg of his Good Things tour this week.
The run of shows kicks off in Los Angeles today (November 1) and continues up the West coast, where Blacc will make a Canadian stop in Vancouver on November 6. He'll also hit up Canada with shows in Toronto on November 15 and Montreal on November 16. All the dates are listed below.
Blacc recently met up with those classy videographers at La Blogotheque to perform "Hey Brother," "I Need a Dollar," "You Make Me Smile" and "Use Me." Separated into two different videos, all four songs can be viewed below.
