(PRESS RELEASE) - Brooklyn NY - Independent hip-hop standout Kota the Friend is hitting the road this fall with the highly anticipated No Rap on Sunday U.S. Tour, kicking off in Seattle and wrapping in his hometown of Brooklyn with a finale at Brooklyn Steel.
Kota the Friend Announces "No Rap on Sunday" U.S. Tour
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Kota’s latest single “Michigan” featuring Big Sean, which premiered with a powerful music video and garnered widespread acclaim, including an in-depth Billboard Feature highlighting Kota’s evolving journey as an artist, father, and entrepreneur.
Joining Kota on tour will be frequent collaborator Hello O'Shay, whose soulful contributions have become staples across multiple tracks in Kota’s catalog.
“This tour is about connection,” said Kota the Friend. “The album is called No Rap on Sunday for a reason. It’s about slowing down, being present, and talking about real life with real people. This isn’t just about performing songs—it’s about building a moment together in every city.”

Superfan Experience: More Than a "Meet & Greet"
In a surprise move that exemplifies Kota’s independent and fan-first philosophy, those who purchased the No Rap on Sunday album on the EVEN platform will be automatically upgraded to an intimate meet & greet experience in the city where they’ve also purchased a General Admission or VIP ticket.
Kota explained: “I hate the term ‘Meet & Greet’ because this is going to be way more than that. It’s not about snapping a quick photo. We’re talking about life, growth, dreams—this is like a No Rap on Sunday Therapy Session with me and the people who really ride with the music.”
Elevating Independent Culture
Kota will also bring along his own lifestyle brand FLTBYS (Flight Boys) and plans to integrate partnering brands on select dates throughout the tour, offering unique collaborations and immersive fan experiences that go beyond the typical show format.
“I’ve always said my FLTBYS (Flight Boys) brand isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement,” said Kota. “This tour is a way for us to show that independent culture is alive and thriving. We’re bringing good music, good energy, and good people into every room.”
