Colin Munroe to tour with Wale

Colin Munroe heads out on the road this spring with mixtape collaborator Wale and his Attention Deficit Tour (schedule below). The run includes several college campus dates and special guest appearances from Common, N.E.R.D and more. Fusing elements of rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic, Colin will perform material from his acclaimed mixtape Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero (free download here: http://www.onsmash.com/unsunghero/) and premiere new tracks from his debut album, Don’t Think Less of Me, due early summer via Universal Motown.

The cameras were rolling at New York City’s Chung King Studios where Colin Munroe rehearsed songs from the mixtape. The latest video features Baltimore artist/producer/DJ Blaqstarr (M.I.A., Diplo) joining Colin on the track “As Much As You”- view here:

Previously released footage of Wale in the studio performing “”Will I Stay (Remix)” can be seen here:

Munroe keeps the collaborations coming with a new remix of the song “Piano Lessons” by Dim Mak recording artist Felix Cartal- free download here:
