When Kanye West announced the dates for his upcoming Yeezus tour, his two shows in New York City were hyped to include an unnamed special guest. It was announced Wednesday that said guest is hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, made up of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White.

A Tribe Called Quest will join Kanye for his Nov. 20 show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, as well as his Nov. 24 show at Madison Square Garden. Q-Tip took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce that the shows with Kanye will be the group's final performances.
