Rappers Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are bringing the “Vultures 1 and 2 Listening Experience” to Pittsburgh.
The “hi-fidelity audio experience” is set for April 9 at PPG Paints Arena.
“Vultures 1,” the first studio album from the collaboration of the two rappers known as ¥$, dropped on Feb. 10 and includes guest appearances from Travis Scott, Chris Brown, Playboi Carti and more. “Vultures 2” was slated for release on March 8 but it’s yet to be released. It features rapper French Montana and producer Timbaland.
West — who also sometimes goes by Ye, Yeezus or Yeezy — has been in the headlines for years, whether it was drama over his divorce with Kim Kardashian, a series of antisemitic comments that cost him his partnership with Adidas and other brands or his unsuccessful presidential campaign.
West’s last full album, “Donda,” was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammys.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday at ticketmaster.com. Pittsburgh is the first date of the four-show trek, which also includes stops in Washington D.C. (April 11), Charlotte, N.C. (April 12) and Tampa, Fla. (April 14).
