SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA — After a prolific year defined by growth, ownership, and expansion, Kiii is taking his independent vision beyond the United States with THE SIDE QUEST, a seven-date international run spanning three continents, four countries, and six cities.
The Sacramento artist and producer is set to bring the tour to São Paulo, Los Angeles, Fujisawa, Tokyo, Kyoto, and London, following the release of THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WALLS, his second album within a year.
Built entirely through TSE4VR, Kiii’s independent touring agency, the run takes a different approach to traditional touring infrastructure. Instead of relying on conventional systems, the tour is built around direct relationships with artists, producers, venues, and independent creative communities in each territory.
No two stops are designed to be exactly alike. Select dates will also feature live beat-flip sessions with local producers, giving Kiii the opportunity to bring his production background into conversation with the sounds and creative identities of each city.
The international run arrives alongside THE VIEW FROM HERE, released September 18, marking Kiii’s third album within a year and his latest self-produced body of work. Developed across borders, the project features SHEEF THE 3RD, Stevie Crooks, Chi Sees, Matheus Coringa, Valente, and Yumz Awkword.
Yumz Awkword, from North Carolina, delivers the album’s first official feature, while DMV artist Mélanje makes her first rap appearance alongside Kiii, contributing one of the project’s standout moments.
Kiii handles nearly all of the album’s production himself. “NO FREE KILOS,” featuring TSE4VR’s LoTheDemigod, stands as the project’s sole co-produced record, created alongside Oakland-to-São Paulo producer ShawnIsADHD!
More than an album cycle, THE SIDE QUEST represents artist-owned and independent infrastructure in motion. Through music, Kiii is turning relationships built across different creative communities into opportunities for stages, studios, collaborations, and continued artistic exchange around the world.
From Sacramento to São Paulo, Los Angeles, Fujisawa, Tokyo, Kyoto, and London, Kiii is continuing to build beyond traditional industry structures while connecting his music to independent communities across the globe.
Three continents. Four countries. Six cities. Seven dates. One independently built network.
