UK hip hop/soul artist Wesley Joseph announces first North American tour;  stream new album ‘Forever Ends Someday’

UK rap/soul artist Wesley Joseph has announced his first-ever full North American tour, which is in support of his full-length debut album, Forever Ends Someday, which was just released via Secretly Canadian. The tour kicks off October 7 in Chicago and wraps October 23 in Los Angeles. All dates are below.

The NYC stop on the tour is Bowery Ballroom on October 12 and tickets are on sale now.

Joseph spent three years crafting Forever Ends Someday. which features collabs with Danny Brown and Jorja Smith. “This record is a product of my musical DNA,” he says. “It feels original because it’s not trying to fit in one space – it’s all my influences at once. I grew up with soul music and r&b being played around the house, I’ve never not had rap music around me, and as I got older I spent a lot of time in my headphones getting lost on the internet – which led to a love of everything from electronic music to psychedelic records.” Listen to the album below.
