Can’t make it to Kanye West and Drake‘s Free Larry Hoover benefit concert on Thursday? Don’t worry, Amazon’s got you covered.

On Tuesday, the conglomerate announced that it will livestream the event exclusively on the Amazon Music app, Amazon Prime Video, and on the Amazon Music Twitch channel. The concert will also be available on-demand.

Additionally, IMAX will livestream the benefit concert in select theaters across the United States in an exclusive, one-night-only IMAX Live event.

Ye and Drizzy will hit the stage Thursday, December 9, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert, which is dedicated to raising awareness of the need for prison and sentencing reform.

Larry Hoover, a co-founder of Chicago’s Gangster Disciples gang, is currently serving six life sentences for murder at the ADX Florence penitentiary in Colorado. Kanye mentions him on the Donda album.

Back in November, amid the feud between the two rappers, Ye invited Drake to perform with him at the benefit. “I believe this event will not only bring awareness to our cause but prove to people everywhere how much more we can accomplish when we lay our pride aside and come together,” West said in a statement at the time.

Almost two weeks later it appeared the beef was squashed, as Drake and Kanye posted videos of themselves partying together in Toronto.

Tickets for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert are now on sale on Ticketmaster.com and tickets for the IMAX experience are available at Tickets.IMAX.com.
