Lil Boosie hits Jackson on his first tour since his incarceration.

Lil Boosie returns to his southern stomping grounds during his "Touchdown 2 Cause Hell Tour." The rapper will appear at the Mississippi Coliseum Saturday, July 5.

"Touchdown 2 Cause Hell," Lil Boosie's sixth album, is set to release July 15. For the album's first single, "Show Da World," Boosie collaborates with Kiara and fellow Baton Rougean rapper Webbie.

The tour celebrates the rapper's release from prison, as it is the first since his incarceration in the Louisiana State Penitentiary from 2009 to 2014. The tour, which kicked off in Memphis May 18, follows the eastern coast and back up through Louisiana, ending in Texas.

The artist recorded his debut album, "Youngest of da Camp," when he was only 17 years old. The year after this album dropped, Boosie signed a contract with Trill Entertainment. Among the most popular of Boosie's songs are "Zoom," featuring Yung Joc; "Wipe Me Down," featuring Foxx and Webbie; and "Better Believe It," featuring Webbie and Young Jeezy.

Lil Boosie is perhaps best-known for producing songs that spawn new dance moves, such as the Ratchet.

Lil Boosie performs at 8 p.m. July 5 at the Mississippi Coliseum (1207 Mississippi St., 601-353-0603) at 8 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at ticketmaster.com, and range from $26 to $56.
