Kanye West Spotlight

In only four years, Kanye West has become one of the biggest artists in all of music. As a producer, the Windy City native has one of the most prolific catalogues in hip-hop history, constructing tracks for the likes of Jay-Z, Scarface, T.I., Common, Beyonce, P. Diddy and Lil Wayne. As an artist, though, 'Ye has two classic albums under his belt - 2004's The College Dropout and 2005's Late Registration - and another great LP, 2007's Graduation. With Kanye already conquering the world of producing and rapping, now 'Ye is trying his hand in singing with his new pop album, 808's & Heartbreak. In celebration of Kanye's new album, we pay tribute to one of music's biggest artists in the latest edition of UGO's Spotlight series.
