After a bit of a disappointing first album Kendrick Lamar has released his UK tour dates for the tour entitled Good Kid, m.A.A.d City.

Four UK dates have been announced in January.

Although there was a huge amount of hype before Kendrick’s first album release, much due to his first single, Drank after it’s release the talk have quietened down a lot. The expectation for sales however is still very much there with the album supposedly in the market to shift 200,000 units in its first week.

There are other options of the album already available for example Babylon Cartel have picked out all the samples used and bundled them into a mixtape available here.

Tour dates are :

January 2013

Thursday 17th, Manchester, HMV Ritz

Friday 18th, Birmingham, HMV Institute

Saturday 19th, Bristol, O2 Academy

Sunday 20th, London, Indigo2
