As you must undoubtedly know by now, Tha Native will once again join E-40 on tour. The first show will be at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, WA on August 29. And if you’ve been following the blog or Tha Native on social media, you probably remember that he joined E-40 last year for his On One Tour, which was a lot of fun for everyone. We hope for the same this year. This year Tha Native will join E-40 for 21 different shows in the U.S. and Canada. As of right now it will be

As previously promised, we have more random photos from the tour to share with you all. Maybe you’ve been wondering if you’re going to show up in any of them. Well, take a look below and see if you can find yourself or maybe someone else that you know. But before that, let me remind you again, or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard, Tha Native will be performing at The No Label Festival in San Bernardino, CA on July 22.

As Tha Native wraps up his shows with E-40 in Canada, he’ll start to make his way back into the U.S. He’ll first hit Idaho in the Northwest then over to Utah and Colorado after that. But it’s easy to find a schedule of the On One E-40 tour. There was one in the last blog and you can also find one on his Facebook page facebook.com/ThaNativeOG.
