billy woods & Kenny Segal announce ‘Hiding Places’ tour

billy woods and Kenny Segal reunited for last year’s excellent Maps, and now they’ve announced that they’ll celebrate the fifth anniversary of its beloved predecessor, Hiding Places, on a fall tour. It includes a few September shows on the West Coast, followed by a trip to the Midwest and East Coast in December. See all dates below.

The NYC show is at Warsaw on December 7. Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday, June 28 at 12 PM local time.

We named Hiding Places one of the 30 best Rap and R&B albums of 2019, and in our blurb, we wrote, “NYC rapper billy woods released not one but two albums in 2019, October’s Terror Management and March’s Hiding Places, a collaboration with producer Kenny Segal. Hiding Places isn’t just the best of the two, but perhaps the most memorable album of woods’ already-great career so far. His style is aggressive and booming and not always the most welcoming, but on Hiding Places, his endlessly-clever punchlines just seem to get stuck in your head even more than usual. And Kenny Segal’s production, which strikes a balance between classic hip hop and futuristic weirdness, provides woods with an ever-exciting backdrop.”

Maps made our list of 2023’s Best Albums, and woods is also playing Outside Lands and Pitchfork Festival (with Segal) this summer.
