Kanye West is set to perform his fourth record 808s & Heartbreak in full at a one-off show in Los Angeles.
He'll perform at the Hollywood Bowl on 25 September; tickets are on sale on 4 September.
The album originally came out in 2008 and was a notable entry into Kanye's canon because of its massive departure from the more traditional hip-hop/rap sounds he'd showed before. It also demonstrated Kanye's total love of auto-tune. It remains one of the decade's most influential pop records, blurring the line irreversibly between pop, R&B, electronic, and hip-hop.
Rekindle your love for 808s... by reminding yourself how great "Heartless" is.
