Andy Mineo's 'Uncomfortable' Reaches No. 2 on iTunes; Announces Tour with Propaganda [DATES]

Andy Mineo

Hip-Hop artist Andy Mineo debuted his highly anticipated second album, Uncomfortable (Reach Records), and the record, is currently #2 on iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Charts and ranks #3 on iTunes overall charts.

The first leg of the nationwide Uncomfortable Tour will begin October 1 and Mineo will be joined by rapper Propaganda.

Uncomfortable was produced by !llmind (J.Cole, Drake, 50 Cent) and is a 13-track album which includes the first single and title track, "Uncomfortable." The second single off the album, "Hear My Heart," which was released in August, first premiered on Sirius XM's Sway In The Morning and then online with the popular music and entertainment site VIBE. "Hear My Heart" is a tribute to Andy Mineo's deaf sister. Mineo announced the heartfelt song with a sign-language video.

Mineo documented the process behind the making of Uncomfortable on his weekly YouTube web series, Saturday Morning Car-Tunez, directed by Francis De La Torre. The web series which gained a rabid following is now in its third and final season. Tomorrow, Mineo will reveal the final episode of Season 3, to the dismay of many devoted fans. Still, Mineo, who prides himself in having a close relationship with his followers, continues sharing inside tidbits to his life and album making process. Mineo created the Extended Experience via Instagram, where fans can explore an immersive website via Instagram's tagging feature to see behind-the-scenes content for the thirteen tracks on the album.

"You Can't Stop Me," the hugely successful single off Mineo's previous project entitled Never Land, which sold over 90K units and has been seen more than 1M times on YouTube, recently won "MLB's top walk up song" for ESPN's inaugural Whammy Awards, beating out Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" and Big Sean's "Blessings."
