Rapper TI Announces Aus Tour With DMX

American hip hop star TI has announced an Australian tour, with fellow rap veteran DMX set to join him in support.

The Atlanta native, real name Clifford Harris Jr, will perform shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane across three days this December in what will be a swift, but surely memorable tour for his fans, considering he's yet to perform live in Australia as yet. This will be DMX's second visit to the country.

TI recently dropped his ninth studio album Paperwork, a record the rapper told us was his most "musical" yet.

"It’s a tad more moody. It has a bit of a nostalgic vibe to it," the hip hop star said. Read our full chat with TI here.
