Rapper Vince Staples announced today, Dec. 11, he will be kicking off the "Smile, You're On Camera" tour across North America in Feb. 2019. Before starting off his 37-show headline trek, he is set to finish up several shows this month as support for GRAMMY winner Childish Gambino, whose final tour (under that moniker) got pushed back due to a foot injury.

Staples' headlining tour begins in Tucson, Ariz. on Feb. 1 with dates eastbound across the U.S., showing Florida some love with three shows around Valentine's Day, stopping in New York City on Feb. 21, followed by a few more East Coast dates, including Washington, D.C. on Feb. 22.

He also has several concerts planned for our neighbors up north, including a Montreal show on Feb. 28 and a Toronto Show on Mar. 5. The Southern California rapper eventually makes his way back to the West Coast, including a show in Los Angeles on Mar. 30, and closing it all out on April 3 with a show in Pomona, Calif.

All show dates can be found in Staples' Tweet. Fellow SoCal rappers Buddy and JPEGMAFIA will be offering opening support. The tour follows the release of Staples' latest (surprise) release, his third studio album, FM!

On Dec. 11, GRAMMY-winning rapper Lil Wayne announced the four cities he would visit on the I Ain't Sh*t Without You tour: Houston, Washington D.C., Atlanta and Chicago. These are the first major shows the rapper has planned since his long-delayed and hotly anticipated Tha Carter V was finally released on Sept. 28.

Thank y’all for the love!

Wayne initially broke news of the mini-tour on Dec. 3, asking fans to vote on where to hold the shows. In an announcement video, he stressed the intimate and exclusive vibe all four shows would have: "It's gonna be a real intimate setting, some different sh*t. You might get to hear some sh*t you've never heard or some sh*t some people may never hear, things like that."

Now that the votes are in and the cities have been chosen—although the venues are still undisclosed—fans can RSVP for tickets, which are free for Tidal members. Non-subscribers can sign up for a free trial in order to join in.

To get a taste, watch below to see Wayne performing "Uproar" from Tha Carter V, along with collaborator (and fellow GRAMMY winner) Swizz Beatz, on Saturday Night Live.

There is no doubt that the world dearly misses the late rapper Mac Miller. Many artists across genres have paid tribute to him since his untimely passing at age 26 on Sept. 7. The tributes will continue with a star-studded concert set to celebrate his life, featuring many of artists who have shown him love, including Anderson .Paak, Chance the Rapper, Miguel and many more. The special show will be held in Los Angeles at the Greek Theater on Oct. 31, Miller's family has announced.

— Anderson .Blacked (@AndersonPaak) October 2, 2018

The stellar lineup features an impressive variety of artists who loved the young rapper, including Anderson .Paak, Miguel, Earl Sweatshirt, Schoolboy Q, Thundercat, Vince Staples, Action Bronson and Ty Dolla Sign, all of whom collaborated with him at some point. Others who will perform in his honor include Chance the Rapper, who went from being a big fan to close friend of Miller's—Miller brought him on tour when he was first starting out. Additionally, John Mayer, SZA, Travis Scott, Domo Genesis of Odd Future, Dylan Reynolds, J.I.D and Njomza are on the bill. The proceeds will benefit the newly established Mac Miller Circles Foundation, created by the rapper's brother in his memory to bring the arts to underserved youth. Miller's mother, Karen Myers, who helped organize the concert, reflected on the positivity shining through for the upcoming show and the new foundation established in his name.

"The support we've experienced is evident in this amazing lineup and is a testament to Malcolm's incredible life. His father, brother and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision," Myers shared in a recent statement. "He was a caring, loving human with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that."

As a silver-lining to the dark spot his death left, the dedications, shout-outs and love musicians and fans alike have shown for him since then has been truly heartwarming, and shows the positive impact the young rapper had on so many lives. His legacy will live on in his music and within the people he positively impacted who share that light. Staples posted a shout-out to him on the day of his passing, quoting one of Miller's verses on a song they collaborated on, "Heaven." "'I must've died and went to heaven...currently in shock it'll hit me in a second. What's your question? You need a blessing right? Or you just wondering what heavens like.' I’ll see you soon. Thank you for everything...for all of this. I love you," he shared on Instagram.

On April 30 new dates were added to this tour, so fans can catch the music, movie and television star before he retires his Childish Gambino persona.

While Childish Gambino is set to retire his alter ego after his upcoming fourth studio album, there's still time to catch him in the act. The GRAMMY winner has announced an arena tour in support of his 2016 Album Of The Year-nominated LP, "Awaken, My Love!" with guest artists Rae Sremmurd.

The 13-date North American trek will take Gambino through cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Houston, Philadelphia, and more. He'll kick off the tour on Sept. 6 in Atlanta, concluding Sept. 30 in Vancouver.

Gambino recently earned his first career GRAMMY win at the 60th GRAMMY Awards for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Redbone." He also made his GRAMMY stage debut with a performance of "Terrified" with child actor JD McCrary.

Hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd comprises brothers Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee. Their sophomore album, 2016's SremmLife 2, spawned the No. 1 single "Black Beatles."

Ticket presales for the tour begin March 6.
