Erykah Badu Announces “Abi & Alan Tour” w/The Alchemist

Powerhouse singer and producer Erykah Badu announces “Abi & Alan Tour” with Hip-Hop producer The Alchemist

Ten-city exclusive North American run begins in August; features The Cannabinoids’ freestyle digital-analog fusion where creativity is the ultimate high

When four-time Grammy-winning vocalist and powerhouse producer, composer, and independent record label founder Erykah Badu teams up with legendary hip-hop producer The Alchemist, creative genius meets creative genius.

The duo is bringing that creative alchemy on the road this August with the “Abi & Alan Tour“—a playful nod to their birth names, Erica Abi Wright and Alan Maman—hitting ten cities across North America.

The highly anticipated tour will showcase music from their collaborative album of the same name, with Badu’s live digital and instrumental band, The Cannabinoids, bringing the project to life in an intimate, immersive, underground-esque experience.

Audiences will experience the full depth of Badu and The Alchemist’s collaborative album performed live, with The Cannabinoids interpreting music that Badu wrote, composed, arranged, and produced alongside The Alchemist’s signature beats.

Not only is she making an offering to The Alchemist’s beats with her iconic voice, but the world will finally recognize her as the seasoned producer she’s always been.

From playing synths and arranging horn sections to coaching and supervising the mix, Erykah is unveiling a deeper layer of her artistry as a skilled B-girl—showing the music world her overlooked vision as a sonic architect and revealing the master craftsperson behind decades of innovation.

The live presentation transforms their recorded collaboration into a multisensory experience that bridges hip-hop production mastery with neo-soul innovation.
