Kendrick Lamar has announced a spring North American college tour, during which he’ll be taking his “Drank” message to those who understand it the best. Some of the tour dates, which run through April and May, also include DJ/label head/Benihana heir/human beer bong Steve Aoki. A full list of dates is below.


Lamar will also be featured on an upcoming remix of Miguel’s “How Many Drinks” off last year’s excellent Kaleidoscope Dream. There’s no firm release date on that yet, but the rapper says it’s “coming soon.”
