'Kanye West (pronounced KAHN-yay) (born Kanye Omari West, June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American music producer and rapper from Chicago, Illinois.
Previously best known for producing hit singles for Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, and Ludacris, Kanye himself worked on a solo album for a long period of time, having the release pushed back time and time again. A car crash on October 23, 2002 left his jaw fractured in three places. With his mouth still wired shut and only weeks after having an encounter with death, Kanye West began recording "Through The Wire," reliving his near-fatal accident. "Through The Wire", which sampled Chaka Khan's classic track "Through The Fire", would eventually become his lead single from The College Dropout, which was released on Roc-a-Fella Records in February 2004.
West also has his own clothing line - "Pastel Clothing" , and his own record label - "G.O.O.D. Music" (an acronym for Getting Out Our Dreams), under which John Legend's platinum selling debut album Get Lifted has been released, along with Common's latest album - "Be". Other artists on his label include Keyshia Cole, GLC, Consequence, and Farnsworth Bentley.'
