Devin The Dude Announces First Australian National Tour 2015
Infamous Houston rapper Devin The Dude has announced his very first Australian national tour in Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane in September.
With over 15 years in the game, the underground rapper is hugely known for his collaborations with Dr.Dre, Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg and Andre 3000.
In the 80’s Devin teamed up with blind rapper Rob Quest and together they formed ‘Coughee Brothas,’ later on they become ‘Odd Squad.’ They were quickly snapped up by Rap-A-Lot Records although with little success Devin then joined ’Facemob,' it was after that break-up that he decided to drop a solo project ‘The Dude’ in 1998.
His highly anticipated sophomore LP, ‘Just Tryin’ ta Live,’ was then released in the summer of 2002 and featured appearances from hip hop legends such as Nas, Xzibit, and Raphael Saadiq with production from Dre, DJ Premier and his Coughee Brothas.
‘To tha X-Treme' arrived two years later and was followed in 2007 by ‘Waiting to Inhale,’ his first album to crack the Top 40 on Billboards album chart.
His latest album release ‘One For the Road’ was released in 2013 which features ‘I’m Just Gettin’ Blowed.’ It was met with positive reviews from music critics, and also debuted at number 36 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Last year Devin featured in King Chip’s ‘Get Lifted’, A-Wax’s ‘Elevated’ and Berner & B Real’s ‘1Hit.’
