Background

"This tour has literally been years in the making. Prehistorically, my mixtapes have served as a creative outlet for me to serve my fans without the pressure of creating records solely for sales, so this is no ordinary tour. Every sound, every emotion that I ever expressed through my music you will get every single night. No one will leave this show untouched", said Trey Songz. [2] I wanted someone fresh and with a different sound who is also a leader and force in their own right on this tour with me, and Big Sean was the immediate frontrunner. He adds personality that has never been seen before to the tour, so I am excited, to say the least."

Big Sean added, ""Me and Trey are two people who came from different places with the same intention. To change the world and help lead a generation through entertainment. You’ll see the passion we put into our show every night, and that's what will make us great".
