The tour started in Oakland, CA and ran Los Angeles to Houston to Miami, Atlanta to Boston, Chicago, Charlotte and beyond. On June 20, 2016, the Atlanta show brought out Future, Migos, Trouble, and Marissa to bless the stage with their live performances and solidify the Atlanta show as a moment in history.
Based in Atlanta, Think It’s A Game Records continues its streak of breaking new music after their success with Rich Homie Quan’s Flex as the first independent label to go #1 for more than three consecutive weeks since DJ Unc’s Walk It Out in 2009.

A year later, he connected with fellow Atlanta rap artist Johnny Cinco who encouraged Lucci to take his talents seriously and get in the studio. YFN Lucci went on to perfect his craft and develop his sound over the years, eventually landing on two records off of Johnny Cinco’s “John Popi” mixtape in 2014.

YFN Lucci’s creative blend of singing and lyricism make for a unique sound with a southern touch. With new music and colorful visuals, there was no end in sight for this Hip-Hop star in the making once he released his first mixtape Wish Me Well in December 2014. With YFN Lucci’s second mixtape Wish Me Well 2 UnStoppable (featuring Rich Homie Quan, Migos, Problem, and Plies) XXL said, Wish Me Well 2 is a solid mixtape that showcases YFN Lucci’s potential. There is obviously a place for him to rhyme over thundering trap drums but as heard on the handful of deeper cuts, Lucci shines brightest when he goes the untraditional route.”
