Kanye West fans recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the rapper’s fourth studio album, ‘808s & Heartbreak.’  Released November 24th, 2008, the set – which features the hits ‘Love Lockdown,’ ‘Heartless,’ ‘Coldest Winter,’ and more – is marked as a pivotal moment in the emcee’s career and modern Hip Hop history.

Music artist and longtime West collaborator Malik Yuself (who co-produced the LP) has announced a 10th anniversary Stateside tour in its honor.
