In anticipation of his upcoming fifth album, Lupe Fiasco is hitting the road. The Chicago rapper will embark on the “Tetsuo and Youth Preview” tour next month.

Lupe will give fans a taste of the album while performing past hits when the tour kicks off on Nov. 2 in Atlanta. The 32-city trek will travel across North America with shows in L.A., Chicago, Boston, Vancouver, and New York, wrapping in Baltimore on Dec. 15.

“I’m looking forward to going back on the road and sharing the new music I’ve been working on with my fans,” said Lupe in a statement. “This will be just a taste of Tetsuo and Youth.”

The follow-up to 2012′s Food & Liquor II is due in early 2014 featuring the Chris Brown-assisted single “Crack.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale Oct. 4. See LupeFiasco.com for more information.
