Borgore brings on a whole different audience, and Waka Flocka, watching his YouTube videos I knew he was the right fit. &#8220;It&#8217;s a really good crop, and Pharrell is such a great addition because he adds another element to the whole lineup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aoki is no stranger to bus tours \u2014 or hip-hop artists.<\/strong> Last year, he teamed up with Kendrick Lamar for a similar bus tour, and his upcoming Neon Future album features the likes of Snoop and Machine Gun Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>According to Aoki, this tour will be on a whole new level for him. &#8220;New production, new songs, new props,&#8221; he promised. &#8220;I want this show to be about losing yourself, raging and having fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div
