Frank Ocean Announces Solo Tour, 3 Shows Only UPDATE: 3 Euro Dates

So this sucks. There are only three dates, and these are the dates:

Nov. 5: New Orleans, LA @ House of Blues
Nov. 6: New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
Nov. 15: Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theater

And the worst part is that if you’re looking for NYC tickets, you are seriously out of luck, because according to Def Jam’s twitter, the tickets for Bowery Ballroom sold out in 12 minutes. This is absolutely insane if you took 1 second to think about it, because there was zero indication of this small tour happening, no promotions, no twitter announcement or tumblr, nothing. How does this happen?

Anyways, if you’re still looking to get tickets at the El Ray Theater in Los Angeles or New Orleans House of Blues, go ahead and get them Ticketmaster here.

If you’re like me and not close enough to attend those three shows, you can pray that this tour expands to other cities. Otherwise, I guess you can enjoy the Thinking About You and Swim Good videos. Frank Ocean tour, I can’t believe I slept on that…

Update:
You lucky Europeans need to hop on top of these dates
11/8 – Amsterdam, Netherlands @ Bitterzoet
11/9 – Paris, France @ Le Social Club
11/11 – London, England @ XOYO

I don’t know where to get these tickets. But I’m gonna guess that if you’re too late, you’re stuck hitting up stubhub like us Americans have to. Unless stubhub doesn’t exist in Europe, in which case, I really don’t know what to tell you.

The Game feat. Lil Wayne & Tyler The Creator – Martians vs. Goblins

Yes, this guy above got himself on a track with The Game and Lil Wayne. Unfortunately, Weezy doesn’t participate beyond the hook, but it’s still a pretty good track. The rest of The Games R.E.D. album drops next week on the 23rd.

Frank Ocean – Thinking About You

While we all wait for Nostalgia/LITE to drop (not really, ever heard of Nostalgia, ULTRA?), this gem drops for us.

If only a new Frank Ocean track could drop every week.

Keep an eye out for Watch the Throne. Picture above is of Jay and Frank in the studio.

Pusha T feat Tyler, The Creator – Trouble On My Mind

You don’t have to like the music Tyler makes, but don’t judge the kid off of that. He got to work with one of his favorite artists that he grew up listening to, how can you not be happy for someone that geeks out voer something like that? Just a kid having fun.

Frank Ocean – Anywhere (Tagged)

This Frank Ocean business is crazy. Here comes a leak according to Hypetrak. This is the reason I refresh these sites constantly. I may have a problem. This isn’t a song that blows me away or anything, I do like it and all, it’s just not like the tracks on Nostalgia. But still, Frank Ocean is my dude, love everything he does. When an untagged version comes up, it’ll be here

Frank Ocean – Dreamkilla

 

 

A big thanks for the heads up from Good Music All Day on this previously unreleased Frank Ocean track. I’ll take all I can get. Don’t forget to look out for Frank on the Watch The Throne album with Jay-Z and Kanye.

Summer Camp Mix from Tyler, The Creator

If you don’t like Tyler’s music I have no problem with that. Not everyone likes the same things and I have no problem with that, but the kid has good taste in music himself. Offered yesterday was an hour mix of some of his favorite summertime tracks, and it’s definitely cool. And the whole DJ Stank Daddy thing makes me chuckle.  Play/stream it on a nice summer day while you chill/drive/whatever. I couldn’t find a soundcloud upload until today. Foolish me. Enjoy

Frank Ocean – Novacane (Video)

New Frank Ocean video for Novacane which will probably be a huge smash all summer long. My only question is wtf is he rubbing on his face throughout the video?

Tyler, The Creator feat Frank Ocean – She (Video)

The video is out, I think earlier than it was supposed to but who the fuck cares. What do you think?

MellowHype (Hodgy Beats and Left Brain) feat. Frank Ocean – Rico

So the news here is that  MellowHype (comprised of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain from Odd Future) is getting a commercial release of the BlackenedWhite mixtape… well, album starting July 12th. This Wolf Gang shit is blowin up fast, except not really. BlackenedWhite came out October. Free. So I don’t know what these record labels are expecting with this and Frank Ocean’s release, but I guess we’ll see. What really needs to happen is the record labels should be promoting these free mixtapes to generate more hype for new material. But I’m probably wrong, we’ll find out July though (I think I’m always right btw).

Chordaroy won’t make the commercial cut because they can’t use Earl Sweatshirt’s vocals. Somebody bring that kid back please.  But thank god we have Frank Ocean, amiright? This was my favorite track from the mixtape, so enjoy this.
