This has been a great year for rap and R&B artists. They have created music that has spoken to the masses. When artists like Beyonce and Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Miguel and more posted their tour dates, everyone was excited to experience the greatness in their music live. Here are the best rap and R&B concerts that had the fans raving on social media in 2018:

Beyoncé and Jay-Z stopped the world when they announced their tour. Jay-Z and Beyonce released albums in 2016 and 2017 expressing their love and how they overcame their hard times. People wanted to see the power couple perform live. The “Beyhive” couldn’t get enough of Beyonce, so when she announced she was going on tour with her husband, they couldn’t stop talking about it. While they were on tour, they dropped their album in the middle of a concert called Everything is Love, and people were obsessed.

Travis Scott has taken the concert experience to another level with his AstroWorld Tour. He created a carnival where you could actually get on a rollercoaster while he performed his hits from his new album, AstroWorld. Scott gave the audience a chance to truly have fun and live in the moment. He also had really dope merchandise that you could get at the concert that everyone couldn’t stop talking about on social media.

Miguel’s soulful album War & Leisure dropped December 2017. He shortly went on tour in 2018. Miguel’s angelic voice had the crowd going crazy and wanting more. He created such a cool atmosphere while he was on stage and had everyone in the building vibing out to his new hits on his album such as “Sky Walker” featuring Travis Scott and Pineapple Skies.

The Championship Tour included some of the biggest names in music industry which included Kendrick Lamar, SZA, ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. The North American Tour was greatly appreciated from people who are passionate about the rap and R&B industry because one of today’s greats, Kendrick Lamar, headlined the show and gave people an experience that they couldn’t stop talking about.

Drake and The Migos have a huge following. This was a great pairing to do a world tour. The hits they have cultivated over their careers are wanting to be experienced live by their fans. Drake also brought out some of the music industry’s favorite people during the tour, like Lebron James, Travis Scott and Meek Mill.
