Believe
the hype! Ty Dolla $ign is one of the hottest acts in music right now and in just a few short weeks
he’s bringing his Campaign
tour to New Zealand, with special guests US rapper Kent Jones* and
Auckland collective SWIDT*.
The hip-hop sensation has already sold out his Sydney gig and with limited
space at his others, Kiwi fans are urged to get in quickly for tickets to his
shows in Wellington on January 31, Christchurch on February 1and Auckland on February 2- presented by Mai FM, Double Block and Urban Touring.
Since featuring on YG’s2010 smash, ‘Toot It and
Boot It’, Ty
Dolla $ign has fast become one of hip-hop’s most highly
demanded collaborators and solo artists.
The GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist had two of
2014’s biggest songs, Paranoid featuring B.o. Band Or
Nah featuring Wiz Khalifa, from his Beach House EP. His much anticipated and debut album, FREE TC was released
to critical acclaim in November 2015, garnering mention in a number of year-end
lists including Rolling
Stone’s, 20 Best R&B Albums of 2015 and NPR Music’s, 50 Favourite Albums of 2015.
His latest offering, CAMPAIGN, features appearances by Future,
Travis Scott, Meek Mill, Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz, Migos and
more.
Along with his multi-platinum solo career, Ty Dolla $ign remains among one of the
most popular featured artists of the last decade, working with the biggest
names in the industry, from Fifth
Harmony’s Teen Choice & MTV Video Music Award-winning
chartbuster Work From
Home (Feat. Ty Dolla $ign), to Kanye West’s Fade and Real Friends, Nick Jonas’ Bacon,
Afrojack’s Gone, Chance the Rapper’s Blessings (Reprise), Rihanna’s FourFiveSeconds (with
Kanye West & Paul McCartney) and of course, Sucker For Pain by Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine
Dragons with Logic and Ty
Dolla $ign (Feat. X Ambassadors).
Joining Ty Dolla $ign on his first New Zealand visit is Kent
Jones (Auckland and Christchurch shows only), who earned his
cred as a producer before taking his music to the masses. Jones’ single Don’t Mind was one of
the biggest hits of 2016, rising into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, hitting
number #1 on the Rap charts and surpassing over 162 million streams and
counting.
And representing homegrown hip-hop is Auckland’s very own SWIDT (See What I Did
There). The critically acclaimed five piece from Onehunga will open the shows
in Christchurch and Auckland. Fellow Aucklander Jess B+ will also appear at the
Auckland show. Mai FM’s DJ
Sir-Vere will be a special guest at all New Zealand shows.
Don’t miss your chance to see hip-hop’s man of the moment in action, live in
New Zealand for the first time.
