Lauryn Hill and Nas to Reunite on the Road4 min read

Five years after their first tour together, Lauryn Hill and Nas are hitting the road again for a 17-date tour this fall.
The North American tour will kick off Sept. 7 in Chicago and wraps in Vancouver, Canada, Oct. 11, according to a press release. Comedian Hannibal Buress will open for six dates, while reggae artist Chronixx will appear on all dates.
Nas and Hill famously collaborated on the hit “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)” in 1996. They also embarked on a similar tour together in 2012, playing 10 dates after Nas released his Life Is Good album. “This is history,” the rapper said about the joint tour in a statement at the time. “Better late than never. Life is good!”
Nas has not released a new album since that year. But he’s been prolific in the last 15 years compared to Hill, who has not put out an LP since her MTV Unplugged recording in 2002. Most recently, Nas contributed raps to Baz Luhrmann’s just-cancelled Netflix series The Get Down.
