One of the most beloved figures in the US rap scene is headed to Australia this year for his debut tour.

Taking in Melbourne’s 170 Russell, Sydney’s Metro Theatre, Brisbane’s 256 Wickham and Auckland’s Powerstation in New Zealand, Miami rapper Pouya is bringing the underground to the masses this September.

Having released multiple mixtapes and two acclaimed LPs in last year’s Five Five and 2016’s Underground Underdog, Pouya has become a much sought out artist. He’s collaborated with J.I.D., Ghostemane, $uicideboy$, Ying Yang Twins, Ramirez, long-time collaborator Fat Nick, and many more.

Pouya, full name Kevin Pouya, was born of the internet, bred on the streets, and bored of the mainstream hip-hop world. Entirely independent with his Buffet Boys record label, he’s never released on a major record label or even an indie outside of his own.

Pouya’s recent single ‘Superman Is Dead’, produced by Mikey The Magician, further enhances his growing status among rap alumni after bursting out from the Soundcloud rap movement. The clip for the single has clocked over 1.2 million views on YouTube since its release in late January.
