Currently one the world's most sought after producers and a successful artist in his own right.
44 KANYE WEST
Born 8th June 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. He was raised in Chicago when his mother moved there when he was three. At first he came to prominence as a sought after producer, but soon found himself performing to great success on both sides of the Atlantic. His father was a member of the Black Panthers and West was raised in a very middle class environment, he caused controversy at a Hurricane Katrina T.V. appeal by claiming the President George Bush doesn’t care for black people. His latest album 808’s and Heartbreaks shows a new musical direction than his previous efforts.
