The touring season continues with two of hip-hop's biggest names, Drake and Lil Wayne kicking off their huge Drake vs Lil Wayne tour in upstate, New York, last night. As previously reported, the MCs "battled" onstage using their plethora of hits, both trying to win over the crowd with each memorable track. But, the highlight of the night was the Cash Money soldiers performing the new Carter V single "Grindin'" which was just premiered earlier that day.

Promoted by Live Nation, the tour plans on hitting 31 cities throughout the months of August and September including New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas and Los Angeles.
