Rihanna is gearing up to hit the road on her summer tour, and she has just announced she is bringing along another very special guest!

J. Cole, a hot new rap artist on the rise, will be joining the pop star as the second opening act on her LOUD tour, scheduled to kick off June 4 in Baltimore, Md.

Cole's debut album has yet to be released, but the newcomer will have plenty to pull from, including material from his recently released mixtape, 'Friday Night Lights,' which boasts the slow-tempo hit 'In the Morning.' Featuring Drake, the video debuted last month, including footage from Cole's recent European tour.

As previously announced, Cee-Lo Green will also be on the trek that will take them through the United States and Canada over the summer months, before hitting overseas by mid-August.
