Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun Tour is headed to Kings Theater. The tour is celebrating her sophomore album of the same name. The historic theater sits in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and was once one of Loew’s Wonder Theaters. Kings Theater is a beautifully restored cinema from the golden age of cinema, with a stage fit for a queen. Mama’s Gun is an album hailed for its blend of soul, hip-hop, and jazz with live instrument recordings. The album is one of self-discovery, looking at what it means to love and be loved as a Black woman. Ride the edge of introspection and social awareness with thoughtful lyrics Badu herself called “emotionally naked.”

Follow the walking bass line to Brooklyn’s Kings Theater on Friday, December 5th and 6th at 8 p.m. for Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun Tour: The Automatic Slim Tour. Let go of the past with songs like “Bag Lady” and find inner peace with “Don’t Cha Know?” Finally, let go of the one that got away with the album’s grounding trilogy “Green Eyes.” Rediscover Badu as the Queen of Neo-Soul.
