With the partnership deal reported to be worth nearly $50million, the Wasteland singer will maintain ownership of his music with the launch of his creative agency.
Faiyaz didn’t waste any time in getting to work as he announced his Fuck The World, It’s A Wasteland Tour, which will kick off in Landover, Maryland at Broccoli City Festival on July 16 and make stops in Chicago, Toronto, New York City, Boston, Boston, Miami, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas and Los Angeles before heading overseas.
The tour will continue in Europe with a set of United Kingdom shows before heading to Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain and Norway.
The Maryland native also delivered another Wasteland visual with the cinematic “Rolling Stone” arriving on Tuesday. Faiyaz ruminated about dealing with the crippling demons and vices in his life resulting in him letting those close to him down throughout the noir clip.
