KanYe West is arguably one of the most important and creative forces in music today. His soulful approach to hip-hop production and unique talent make him stand out above the crowd. His use of vintage R&B samples along with live instrumentation gives his work a warmth and emotional honesty that can’t found anywhere else. Since stepping out from behind the production booth that birthed chart-topping hits for marquee artists such as Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Ludacris and Alicia Keys to focus on his tremendous talents as a lyricist and songwriter, KanYe has proven himself to be the most vital artist in music today. West was in a league of his own—creating the future of hip-hop as he dug back in time with his unique samples to connect the past with the present in a brand new way. Before long, West was being hailed as the future of hip-hop. KanYe has always been an artist who challenges not only himself, but his audience and his fellow musicians with new ideas and new ways of expressing the joys and sorrows of life through music. After a short career filled with unimaginable fame and success, it would have been easy for KanYe to rest on his impressive laurels. However, that’s just not who he is. KanYe is many things - a phenomenal producer, a tastemaker, an introspective artist, a cutting edge video director, and now the Chief Operating Officer of his own record label, Getting Out Our Dreams (G.O.O.D. Music). This musical outlet was established to be a voice and creative force for some of the most talented artists in popular urban culture. It’s obvious that KanYe knows a little something about good music having added his musical expertise to the already superlative career of Common to playing an integral role in the soulful sound of Grammy Award winning artist John Legend’s debut opus. Continuing on this great path of musical success KanYe now brings to the musical forefront his newest protégé’s in Consequence, GLC, Fonzworth Bentley, and Sa-Ra. With KanYe’s musical repertoire combined with the various talents of the G.O.O.D. Music artists, the limit for the “World’s Best Dressed Label” seems to be endless. . |
