Lil Wayne Grabs Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Drake for America’s Most Wanted

6/15/09, 2:03 pm EST

Before releasing Rebirth in August, Lil Wayne will take Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and up-and-comer Drake on a 22-city tour called Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival, which kicks off July 27th in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Tickets go on sale July 20th.

All four rappers have new albums targeted for release in the final third of 2009, with Wayne’s oft-delayed rap-rock Rebirth pushed to August 18th and Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 103, Soulja’s DeAndre Way and Toronto rapper Drake’s debut disc Thank Me Later all on the schedule. (For more on Drake’s rise from Degrassi to Weezy protégé, check out Drake’s Big Break.)

According to an official press release, an unnamed opening act will hit the stage prior to Drake, who will be followed by Soulja and Jeezy before Wayne closes out the evening. Get the full dates for the America’s Most Wanted trek after the jump.

excellent point “cris is gay”. you just reaffirmed the perception of all lil wayne fans being complete cattle. But by all means keep handing over your money to mediocrity..lil wayne and soulja boy thank you.
