Description

Ye is an American rapper, singer and record producer. One of the most prominent figures in hip-hop, he is known for his varying musical style and polarizing cultural and political commentary. Although he is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time; his artistic achievements have been frequently overshadowed by his controversial public persona.
West was born in Atlanta and was raised in Chicago. After dropping out of college to pursue a music career, West began producing for regional artists in the Chicago area. As an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, he co-produced albums such as Jay-Z's The Blueprint before signing with the label as a recording artist. West's debut studio album, The College Dropout, was met with critical acclaim and yielded the US Billboard Hot 100-number one single "Slow Jamz". He topped the chart on four other occasions with the singles "Gold Digger", "Stronger", "E.T.", and "Carnival".
