Badu 52, last toured in 2021-22 taking the ‘Live From Badubotron Tour’ all over North America.
That tour, her first since 2010, was where she debuted tracks from her 2015 mixtape ‘But You Caint Use My Phone’
In the intervening years, she has lent her voice to a few songs with artists like D’Angelo, Teyana Taylor and Bilal.
You can find her complete catalog of songs dating back to her debut album “Baduizm” here.
In her Instagram tour announcement, Badu shared that she’d be bringing along Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) as well as other “extraordinary guests.”
While we’re not sure who the other extraordinary guests are yet, we can help you catch up with the elusive Bey — he hasn’t released any music as Mos Def since 2015 or Yasiin Bey since 2012 — here.
Most recently, Bey served as the musical guest along with Talib Kweli on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in November 2022.
The two performed as Black Star, their seminal hip-hop supergroup, known for their 1998 self-titled album.
Kweli’s music video for “So Be It” can be seen below.
