Event details: Kanye West - Glow In The Dark Tour
Description
Yes thatas right lovers of rap, hip-hop, pop, rock, hell just music in general, the valedictorian, Mr Kanye West, is bringing his Glow In The Dark Tour to Australia this December!
With a brand new single Love Lockdown burning up the radio waves, and a new album scheduled to drop on December 16, Kanye is at the top of his game.
Arguably already the most important creative force in hip-hop music today, Kanye is building the future of hip-hop as he digs back in time with his unique ear for samples, connecting the past with the present in a brand new way. Kanye made his first lunge for world domination in 2004 - no matter where you lived, if you owned a radio, a TV, a computer or a were simply taking a walk to the canteen, Kanye West broke into your music consciousness with his first album The College Dropout.
Kanyeas follow-up album of 2005, Late Registration reaffirmed him as the man at the top of his class. Featuring singles of distinction Diamonds From Sierra Leone & Gold Digger, the albumas a must for every music student, full or part time.
Now with his 3rd release Graduation Kanye has once again been voted top of the class, showing the rest how it should be done. Leading the charge with Stronger & Good Life, Graduation is another critical & commercial touchstone. Coinciding with the Glow In The Dark Tour, West will drop his 4th studio album this December.
All hail Kanye West - the man with the Midas touch! Classmate to Kanye will be special guest, Nas, visiting Australia for the first time.
Coming to the fore with his now classic 1994 debut album Illmatic, the native New Yorker endeared hip-hop purists & critics alike, earning him a reputation as the teacher of hip-hop. Following multiple album releases & reaching sales over 12 million, Nasa career came to a turning point in 2005 in a surprising, public reconciliation with Jay-Z, a longtime rival for rapas East Coast throne.
The move resulted a Def Jam deal, & the release of Hip-Hop Is Dead (2007), once more proving his legendary sharp mic skills. Nas stands tall as statesman, mentor, & the aconsciencea of hip-hop.
Kicking off the nightas proceedings will be New Zealandas own hip-hop A-Grade student, Scribe.
Scribeas debut album of distinction The Crusader, brought phenomenal critical & credible success on both sides of the Tasman. Boasting a platinum debut, Scribe regrouped at his Christchurch home, working on the 2007 sophomore release Rhyme Book. The album debuted top 10 in the ARIA album chart.
