Think it's a good way of building next level hype, all part of the marketing. No doubt if there are live shows, people will be clamouring to get tickets now. The next album will probably sell a shitload as well.

that is exactly what happened. the guy had his first hometown (Toronto) performance at a local venue. i can tell you unprecedented levels of hype were gripping the city. too many people were scrambling for tickets since they were only available for in-store pick up at local stores.

then the concert happened and people were saying it was the best shit ever.

i'm not sure if people know this but this guy is Drake's (canadian rapper) protege. so he's pretty much revered by people on the other side of the pond
