American rap superstar Tyga will headline a hip hop concert in Mount Maunganui next month.

Tyga has worked with some of the biggest names in hip hop including Drake, Lil Wayne,
Snoop Dogg, YG, Kid Ink, Ty Dolla $ign, Wale, Birdman and Nicki Minaj as well as R&B
superstars Chris Brown and Bruno Mars to name a few. Some of his biggest releases include Rack City, Taste, Dip, and Ayo with Chris Brown, while also featuring on hits such as Drake's The Motto and Chris Brown's Loyal.

Tyga has had more than 30 hits on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and sold more than 638,000 albums, 12.2 million digital songs, and 1.4 billion on-demand streams.

Fun fact: Tyga made regular appearances on reality television show Keeping up with the Kardashians while he was dating billionare Kylie Jenner, who also featured in the music video for his track Stimulated.

The event is said to kick off the New Zealand summer, with another festival-style event for the Bay of Plenty.
