Bow Wow [ tickets ] is getting ready to kick off that arena tour he promised fans last December when he released his fifth studio album, "Price of Fame," and played only a handful of shows.

The 20-year-old rap star will bring several guests along on the Price of Fame Tour, including rappers Mims, Huey and Crime Mob, and R&B singers Lloyd and Sammie.

The outing rolls out April 6 with a show in Cincinnati. From there, the performers will hit cities in the eastern half of the US through May 27. Dates are listed below.

"Shortie Like Mine," the lead-off single from "The Price of Fame," hit No. 1 on rap charts before the album was released last year. Follow-up singles "Don't Know Bout That" and "Outta My System" are streaming at Bow Wow's MySpace page.

The record, produced by long-time Bow Wow collaborator Jermaine Dupri, features a bevy of guest stars, including R. Kelly, Da Brat, Lil Wayne, Pimp C and Chris Brown. It follows 2005's platinum-certified "Wanted."

In addition to working on new music and collaborations this year, Bow Wow is expected to debut an MTV cartoon series, "Homeboyz." He has also kept a busy acting schedule as of late, including a part in the motion picture "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" and a guest spot on the TV show "Smallville."
