Kanye’s auspicious Yeezus tour appears to have become even more charmed.
The news that Kanye West would be touring the US with Kendrick Lamar was more than enough to get FACT-employed palms rubbing in anticipation. It now seems, however, that another major figure will be pitching in with the Yeezus dates: beat game titan (and GTA V jock) Flying Lotus.
Writing on Twitter yesterday, the rapper revealed: “Been helpin out w the new @kendricklamar show for the yeezus tour. It’s gonna b so amazing.” (ed note: scrolling down the comments, it looks like Joker concurs)
No news at present about the nature of their collaboration, which, given FlyLo’s history as a visual artist, could involve VJ programming rather than DJ duty/musical arrangement credits. Last week, a joint FlyLo/Tyler, The Creator concert at L.A.’s Low End Theory was shut down by riot police; let’s hope FlyLo doesn’t jinx the Yeezus tour, which kicks off on October 19.
