Lil Mosey: Is bringing his ‘Northsbest World Tour’ Down Under

LIL MOSEY
– The Breakthrough Rapper Announces Australian Tour Dates on the “Northsbest World Tour” –


There’s no denying that when rappers from the Seattle rap scene break through, they dominate. And at just 17 years old, LIL MOSEY is making it very clear he’s here to stay. Today, the young MC has announced a debut run of Australian headline shows, bringing the hugely successful Northsbest World Tour down under, starting off at 170 Russell in Melbourne on Thursday, June 13 before heading to Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 12pm Monday, April 29. For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au.

Born and raised in the Seattle suburb of Mount Lake Terrace, Lil Mosey was a mere 9-years-old when he was introduced to hip-hop. His oldest brother, Quinnell, played him music from Joey Bada$$, Iamsu!, Souljah Boy, and Mosey became an avid, rap fan, gravitating to the likes of 50 Cent, Nas and Meek Mill.

By the time the baby-faced wordsmith got to the 8th grade, he was actively scouring YouTube to find instrumentals to write to and rap over. It was a way to perfect his budding flow. Lil Mosey recorded his first song, ‘Duplicate,’ over Desiigner’s ‘Panda’ beat in his bedroom and dropped it on SoundCloud. It got a couple thousand listens, an encouraging sign for an unknown artist. Over the next year, Mosey continued developing his craft and releasing material.

Then he discovered the beat that changed his life. While browsing the internet, Lil Mosey found a track from Black Mayo and passed it on to his producer, Royce David. “Once I got to the studio and started freestyling, I had the song done in 15 minutes,” Lil Mosey recalls of making the smash single ‘Pull Up,’ which showcases his effortless lyrical style. “I knew it was fire, so I raised the capital to get a video done.”

The move proved prescient. Released in December 2017, the accompanying psychedelic clip gave fans the first real glimpse of Lil Mosey and instantly became an internet sensation, racking up 50,000 views in its first week. In a month, it was up to 300,000. Today, the ‘Pull Up’ video has more than 25+ million views.

Buoyed by the success of ‘Pull Up’ and subsequent single ‘Boof Pack’ (more than 13 million YouTube views), Lil Mosey moved to Los Angeles in January 2018. In July, he unleashed the video for the single ‘Noticed,’ a remake of one of his early songs. The Cole Bennett-directed clip reached 100+ million views on Lyrical Lemonade.

With no signs of slowing down, Lil Mosey has already shared the stage with fellow upcoming rappers Juice WRLD and YBN Cordae before releasing his latest project “Northsbest” on Interscope records late last year, before undertaking his own massive North American headline tour, selling out dates in California, Oregon and Vancouver. Now it’s Australia’s turn to experience the free-flowing fire and energy of Lil Mosey with four heaving headline shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth.
