Queen Latifah [ tickets ] will spend the month of November on a North American tour behind her recently released studio set, "Persona."

The R&B songstress/actress will begin the fall road trip with a Nov. 1 show in Vancouver, after which the Grammy winner will work her way east. The month-long club tour will stop by 18 cities through the Nov. 29 conclusion in Chicago. Details are below.

"Persona," Latifah's seventh studio album and her long-awaited return to hip-hop, hit shelves in August.

"My acting, singing and rapping identities all came together under one roof as well as my taste in different kinds of music," Latifah explained about "Persona" in a recent interview with the LA Times. "I'd say it's half rap and half singing. If I had to categorize it, it would be more like hip-hop urban alternative."

"Persona," which debuted at No. 25 on The Billboard 200, is Latifah's first collection of new material since 1998's "Order in the Court." In between the two, the performer released two albums of jazz standards: "2004's "The Dana Owens Album" and 2007's "Trav'lin' Light."

Latifah garnered rave reviews for her 2007 performance as DJ Motormouth Maybelle in "Hairspray" and also picked up her first Emmy nomination for her portrayal of a real-life AIDS activist in the HBO movie "Life Support," which she co-produced with Jamie Foxx.

In 2006, Queen Latifah, who is known as one of the first bona-fide female rap stars, became the first hip-hop artist to be crowned with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to her record label.
