He is also known for his politically-charged rhymes and controversial behavior both inside and outside the realms of music. The album received critical acclaim, defining the style for which West would become known: wordplay and heavy sampling of 70s soul and rnb tracks. In 2004 (after being pushed aside by many record companies who felt he wasn't a marketable hip hop artist), he managed to release his debut solo album, The College Dropout on Roc-a-Fella Records. He later gained nationwide popularity in New York when he began producing tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Twista, Mase, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys.
He began making beats and rapping in the early 90s in Chicago, IL, United States when he formed the rap group GO GETTERS with Chicago natives GLC and Really Doe. Kanye Omari West (born Jin Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy award winning rapper, producer, author, designer and singer.
