Today, Ghana via Sydney rapper and producer Kwame releases the cinematic visuals for his latest single Nobody feat. E^ST and announces his first headline shows of 2020 – which will see Australia’s leading hip-hop prospect hit four metro cities around Australia.
The upcoming tour, presented by triple j, kicks off in Melbourne on March 28 and is followed by three further metro shows in Brisbane (The Triffid, April 3), Sydney (Metro Theatre, April 4) and Fremantle (April 11). Enlisting the help of renowned graphic designer Jonathan Zawada (Flume, The Presets) on poster art duties, was a no-brainer for Kwame who is a longtime fan of his work and is their first collaboration together. These shows mark the first headline tour since Kwame’s completely sold out 2019 EP dates and are expected to fill up quickly.
They also land off the back of Kwame’s most recent single, Nobody feat E^ST which was premiered by Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, and the second taste of his forthcoming third extended play. The track is a powerful anthem of self-belief; an ambitious leap in lyrical content and production, born out of Kwame’s frustration with life, the creative industries and those who think they know it all. “It’s a reminder for myself and anyone else to listen to yourself, outside opinions are irrelevant,” says Kwame.
