Drake, Lil Wayne Collaborate: Street Fighter Tour, Launch Interactive App
If you thought your concerts were missing the intensity of a fighting game, then you're in luck.
Drake and Lil Wayne are here to be the Ken and Ryu of concerts with their new Street Fighter themed concert, notes Polygon. The rappers will be battling in the style of the video game on stage.
The concert is sponsored by Capcom, and there will be an app, which will be available on both iOS and Android, that will make the concert much more interactive. The app will allow concertgoers to pick a side, and this will send power-ups to the rappers. There will be a meter on stage that will fill up based on audience participation.
The two-month tour starts on Sept. 27 and will see one rapper win in each city.
Drake explained how the app works on Twitter.
You decide who STARTS the show, who WINS the show, and of course what side you are on! Just choose your city and from there its on YOU.

There will be footage of Street Fighter on stage as well.
Not everything about how the app, which was developed by iam8bit, will affect the concert was revealed. Those who are curious will probably have to wait until the concert kicks off.
The app is free and ready to download from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
"Capcom, Drake and Wayne invited us to collaborate on a new kind of concert experience, so we'd be crazy not to say 'YES!'" said Jon Gibson, co-founder of iam8bit. "Together, we developed something we're all really proud of, creating a performance narrative using a variety of mediums -- animation, live-action and motion graphics, as well allowing the audience to participate via the Drake vs. Lil Wayne app. All-in, it's pretty damn epic!"
