The last two years have been great for the afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold. The Nigerian artist has had an impact outside of his home country and his progression eventually landed him a recording contract with Def Jam Records. This deal was made before the arrival of his latest album Tequila forever which was released on August 1st. The project features 18 songs and contributions from Khalid, Coco Jones, Zinoleesky, Pharrell and more. Less than two months after its release, Adekunle Gold is all set to deliver Tequila forever as part of a North American tour that begins September 22. Tequila Ever After Tour will also feature two guests: Nonso Amadi and Masicka.
