Tour stops & artists include: Miami (Trina), DC (Wale), Chicago (Twista & Clipse), LA (Three 6 Mafia), San Fran (To Be Announced), NYC (To Be Announced). The tour starts next Tuesday on the 27th in Miami and the events are 21+.

Live Like ‘Ye, for $4Mil
Real Estalker has some info on Kanye West’s LA spot, up for sale now. Want it? Fork over 4 milli. Here’s the info:
SELLER: Kanye West
LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
PRICE: $3,995,000
SIZE: 4,214 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms
In fact, Mister West’s west coast abode, located on frumpy Fareholm Drive low in the hills above Hollywood, is a non-descript three story contemporary that he bought in December of 2003 for $1,750,000. Hardly chump change for most people, but not exactly superstar status either. The children will see and note that the interior spaces of Mister West’s Los Angeles residence utilize the same paradigm of contradiction so well worked by Mister West in the rest of his life: The somewhat peculiar location and the banal, fortress like front facade gives way to a strikingly crisp, minimalist, and light flooded architecture that acts as a serene back drop for his colorful art collection.
YO L.A.! Check Out Ras Kass For FREE On Sunday!
All the info is on the flyer above. FREE!
Also, if you’re in the Bay Area, there’s a SICK free event goin down tomorrow! Info HERE
