About Me


Full Name: Kanye (which means the "only one" in Swahili) Omari West
Birthdate: June 08, 1977
I was Born in Atlanta and raised on Chicago's South Side. My mother Dr. Donda West retired early as head of the English department at Chicago State University and is now my general manager. My Mother recently passed and I owe my being to her. My Father Ray West, a former Black Panther and photojournalist is now a pastoral counselor. My parents divorced when I was 3, but I spent summers with my father, who lives in A Maryland. I started making beats at age 14. I graduated early from high school, dropped out of art school and then left Chicago State because I wanted to pursue music full-time. I headed to the East Coast in 2001. After a bad car accident, I released two mix tapes, Get Well Soon and I'm Good, which showcased my beats and rhyme skills and helped to further my reputation. My first solo single, the Chaka Khan-sampling "Through The Wire" on Roc-A-Fella records, found love from mainstream radio rap fans and underground connoisseurs alike, and then my heavily anticipated debut, College Dropout, hit the streets in February 2004. The rest is History...
