In an interview with the Source Illi explains how the opportunity arose "Well, I’ve known Lupe for maybe a year or two now. We know similar people and we communicate through those vessels. My manager called me and was like “You’re going on tour” and I was like “With Who?” he was like “I can’t tell you right now cause they haven’t announced it, yet.” I was like “Cool”. Then he called me back 30 minutes later and told me I’m about to go on tour with Lupe Fiasco." The end of 2016 is nearly upon us and the relationship between fellow emcees continue as The Boy Illinois joins Lupe Fiasco, with RXMN, on the road once again.
