The Drake vs Lil Wayne tour officially kicks off this Friday and for fans attending the event, they’ll be able to interact with the artists in a while new way thanks to a a companion app built for Android (and iOS) devices. A collaboration between October’s Very Own, Young Money Entertainment and Capcom, the app — DvsLW — was put together by Los Angeles-based iam8bit, a production company that often hosts art shows and other social events at their venue in Echo Park.
DvsLW allows concert goers interact with artists on-stage by sending “power ups” from their phone. By button mashing virtual arcade buttons found in the app, fans can build up either Drake or Lil Wayne’s power meter where the results will be reflected live on stage via the jumbo trons. It’s not entirely clear exactly how this will affect performances, but we’re guessing it will be used like a voting method to pick which artist won in a rap battle. Should be interesting.

There have been other tour-specific apps in the past, some of which allowed attendees to choose the next song in an artists playlist. While DvsLW doesn’t have that functionality, it is a fun way to connect concert-goers with the artists they love. The app has a few other features as well, featuring Drake/Lil Wayne/Street Fighter themed stickers that can be applied to photos (likely taken at the event). You can find the app for free via the Play Store link below.
