The tour announcement comes as buzz for Drake's new album NOTHING WAS THE SAME continues to escalate since the release of the album's first track "Started From The Bottom."  The hit single burned up the charts landing in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Miguel hit the mainstream in 2010 with the infectious first single ALL I WANT IS YOU from his major label debut album of the same name.  The album also features "Sure Thing," which hit #1 on Billboard's Hip-Hop/R&B chart and second US #1 "Quickie."  Miguel followed up on the success of his debut album with his critically-acclaimed, Grammy Award nominated, sophomore release, KALEIDOSCOPE DREAM, which features his third US #1 hit single "Adorn."
