Lil B Hits Australia For The First Time Next Month

The Based God is coming.

Lil B is, without a doubt, one of hip hop's most intriguing figures and he's finally coming to Australia to school us all in what he knows!

The guy has recorded over 3,000 songs, has made hundreds of music videos, written a book, been a guest lecturer at NYU and, perhaps most importantly, he is the inventor of the “based” lifestyle – living well by having a positive outlook and helping others.

He is a unique character, that's for sure, that comes through in his music as well and we can't wait to party with him when he hits Australia to play it for us for the very first time in just a touch over six weeks' time.

The dates are as follows:

Thursday 13 June – The Hi-Fi, Melbourne
Friday 14 June – Coniston Lane, Brisbane
Saturday 15 June – The Standard, Sydney
Sunday 16 June – The Bakery, Perth

Here's the song that started it all for him, Vans by his former band The Pack:
