In support of the new album, Classified will embark on the 27-date national headlining
Canadian Classic Tour, bringing along special guests and Canadian hip hop legends
Choclair and
Maestro Fresh Wes. Kicking off in Kingston, Ontario on October 11th, “The Canadian Classic Tour” will see stops across Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia before heading east to Quebec. For ticket information and the latest tour dates visit

“Tomorrow Could Be The Day Things Change” is comprised of thirteen tracks including six previously released songs from the critically acclaimed June 2018 EP “Tomorrow Could Be…” as well as seven newly penned songs from the highly celebrated Nova Scotian, marking his first full-length release in two years. Delivering the innovative and genuine narrative fans expect from one of Canada’s most respected rappers, “Tomorrow Could Be The Day Things Change” is culturally relevant - filled with commentary that honours female empowerment, pays tribute to missing and murdered Indigenous women and lends a voice to children and women who have been abused among other themes. With a humble determination, Classified (aka Luke Boyd), brings attention to a number of important ‘modern day’ topics and issues throughout the LP.
With an inherent and candid ability to break down the barrier between performer and audience while “leading the vanguard of East Coast hip hop” (
Chronicle Herald), Classified is one of Canada’s most respected and successful rap artists and producers. His self-titled 2013 release debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Nielsen Soundscan Chart, has sold over 1 million singles and is certified 2x Platinum. Additionally, the album boasts two Top 10 singles including the 5x Platinum “Inner Ninja” featuring David Myles and the Platinum certified “3 Foot Tall”. As one of the most influential hip-hop artists in Canada with over 100 million streams globally, the multiple JUNO Award winner hosted the 2014 JUNO Awards and has a combined 24 nominations and 8 wins between the MuchMusic Video Awards, JUNO Awards, and East Coast Music Awards.
