Last Updated : 13 Feb 2025
Kanye West: From Hip-Hop Prodigy to Polarizing Figure Kanye Omari West, known professionally as Ye, is a prominent American rapper, record producer, and fashion designer. His career began with producing for Chicago artists before transitioning to Roc-A-Fella Records, co-producing albums for Jay-Z. H...is debut album, The College Dropout (2004), launched him into superstardom, featuring the hit single "Slow Jamz." West's musical career boasts a string of commercially successful albums, including Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Yeezus. His recent albums, Ye, Jesus Is King, and Donda, all debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Collaborative projects with Jay-Z (Watch the Throne) and Kid Cudi (Kids See Ghosts) further solidify his impact. His 2024 releases, Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 with Ty Dolla Sign, mark his latest musical ventures. His iconic songs include "Gold Digger," "Stronger," and "E.T." Beyond music, West has collaborated with major brands including Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gap, and Adidas (Yeezy collaboration). His 24 Grammy Awards mark a significant achievement, making him one of the most awarded hip-hop artists. He has also received numerous other accolades, including a Billboard Artist Achievement Award and Brit Awards. However, West's career has been punctuated by controversy stemming from his outspoken views and public conduct, leading to the loss of several partnerships following antisemitic remarks in 2022. His presidential bid in 2020 was unsuccessful. West's influence extends beyond his music, with his impact felt in fashion and broader cultural discourse.
