Akeem Ali will be your favorite rapper. Well, that’s what the Jackson, Mississippi, has been tirelessly working towards.

Whether you know him from his budding solo discography, one of the many collaborations he’s appeared on, viral freestyles, or his smooth 70s center heartthrob persona Keemy Casanova, with each post Akeem is further solidifying himself as rap’s next breakout star.

Fresh off the release of his latest body of work, The Texture Tape 3, Akeem is ready to hit the road to mingle with his devoted supporters and recruit new ones along the way. This fall, Akeem will embark on The Texture Tour, a massive 40-date run across North America.

Although the tour’s opening night isn’t until September 29, Akeem has already begun showing each stop love in his signature way—freestyles.

Putting his hip-hop knowledge on full display, Akeem has rolled out a string of freestyles paying homage to artists who stamped their legacy on a city he will visit along the way.

So far, Akeem has shared flips of the late 2Pac’s “All Bout U,” Jermaine Dupri’s “Welcome To Atlanta,” Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s “1st of tha Month,” The Clipse’s “Grindin,” Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up,” Z-Ro’s “Mo City Don,” Too Short’s “Blow The Whistle,” Freeway’s “What We Do,” and Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement.”

In celebration of New Orleans’ 504 Day, Akeem dropped a bounce remix of The Gap Band’s “Outstanding.” While New Orleans is the birthplace of many music genres, Akeem could not resist dipping his foot into the city’s addictive dance music subgenre.

Speaking of area code celebrations, Akeem was sure to bring the love back on home for Jackson’s 601 Day. To pay homage to his own roots, Akeem laid an immaculate freestyle to fellow Mississippian David Banner’s breakout 2003 hit “Like a Pimp” featuring Lil’ Flip.

For his tribute to Florida, Akeem went for a cultural deep pull with legendary group Grind Mode’s (Hunger, Chaos, and McKlezie) “Xtascy Floating,” which Sam Sneak. The beloved regional record is one of Miami’s sonic pride and joys. In the comment section of Akeem’s freestyle, natives thanked Akeem for selecting the record to reimagine it in his musical wheelhouse.

At this time, Akeem Ali has not yet announced any supporting acts for The Texture Tour.
