HOSTS ART INSTALLATION IN NEW YORK & LOS ANGELES
LAUNCHING TOUR FOR YOU THIS FALL
NEW YORK, NY (July 28, 2017) — After months of anticipation, multiplatinum-certified Portland, OR rapper Aminé releases his full-length debut, Good For You [Republic Records], in stores everywhere and online today.
Before the album’s official arrival today, Aminé has nearly surpassed the 500K global album equivalent threshold for Good For You. The record is fueled by the triple-platinum hit “Caroline,” “Wedding Crashers” [feat. Offset], “Heebiejeebies” [feat. Kehlani], “Turf,” “Blinds,” and more. Check out the full tracklisting below.
Get it HERE.
It’s been a busy week for Aminé. On Monday, he performed “Wedding Crashers” [feat. Offset] on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers, donning a powder blue tuxedo and backed by a similarly fly doo-wop group (and singing priest!). Watch it HERE.
Tuesday, he launched the first of two bi-coastal art installations in New York City at Ludlow Studios. The artist invited fans to hang out with him and take a seat on the “blue toilet” from his album cover. The installation invades L.A. Sunday July 30 at Space 15 Twenty 3pm-9pm.
With Good For You finally out now, Aminé is gearing up to hit the road this fall on his first-ever headlining tour, “Tour For You.” He made the announced with this hilarious skit HERE. The tour begins on October 6 at The Showbox in Seattle, WA and plays major markets across the country before concluding November 16 in Los Angeles, CA at Novo.

2017 is shaping up to be the year of Aminé. Not only did he join XXL’s prestigious “Freshmen Class” as a cover star, but he also turned up at Bonnaroo with a headline-making set. VEVO recently proclaimed him as its latest LIFT artist, releasing exclusive video footage for six weeks—including “Becoming” and “Turf.”
Every once in a while, an artist comes along and rewrites the entire rule book for a genre. That’s exactly what Aminé did with “Caroline” in 2016. Taking rap to a new frontier, it earned an RIAA triple-platinum plaque as he delivered a kinetic performance of the anthem on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon between constant touring. “REDMERCEDES” and its high-profile official remix with Missy Elliott and AJ Tracey saw him lap the competition yet again.
