Nas and Lauryn Hill are going on tour together

Hip-hop heavies Nas and Lauryn Hill announced dates today for their joint Life Is Good/Black Rage Tour, so named to promote Nas' latest album, Life Is Good, and Hill's soon-to-be-released single, "Black Rage." While Nas has remained active since his 1994 debut, Hill hasn't released much since her 2002 MTV Unplugged performance, save for a 2010 collection of released and unreleased tracks, Khalumi Phase. Hill won't be on all the dates, however, perhaps due to the tax evasion charges she pled guilty to this past June.
