FAMILY NOT A GROUP represents the historic union of Southern California’s Hit-Boy and the Bay Area’s SOB X RBE . Their new 20-city headlining U.S. tour, the Strictly Only Brothers Tour (with SOB X RBE affiliate Sneakk, and Peacoat Gang) kicked off in February at the Ill Points Festival in Florida. It includes both weekends of Coachella (April 14 & 21) and the Sunday climax of the Boston Calling festival (May 26), before wrapping up on the final day of New York’s prestigious Governor’s Ball on June 2.

He received his first Grammy Award® for 2011’s 4x-platinum “N*ggas In Paris” by Jay-Z and Kanye West (Best Rap Song); his most recent Grammy came for Ariana Grande’s global #1 Sweetener of 2018 (Best Pop Vocal Album).
