US rapper Kanye West played with a surprise gig at the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas over the weekend.
The rapper wowed a sold-out crowd at the Levi's Fader Fort with a set which spanned his career.
Alongside hits from his recent album '808s and Heartbreak', West dropped a number of classics, including 'Crack Music' and 'Diamonds Are From Sierra Leone'.
He later closed SXSW with a performance at a party held by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
West's appearance was one of a number of high profile surprise gigs that took place during last week's annual new music festival.
Metallica and Outkast rapper Big Boi also played at the event.
