Kanye Omari West is an American rapper, record producer, singer, songwriter, fashion designer and one of the most influencial figures in the HipHop industry.
After dropping out of college to pursue a career in music, West began producing for regional artists in Chicago. Kanye peaked with the release of his first studio album The College the Dropout.
Ye is the eighth studio album from the rapper and producer Kanye West. The album includes references from the rapper´s mental health struggles, where a good part of it shows Kanye trying to understand his own confused mind. The sentence «I hate being bipolar its awesome», seen on the album cover, is a reference to that same theme.
West re-recorded all the work on the album, completing it over the course of just two weeks at West Lake Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
The album was produced alongside Mike Dean and it was the second of five albums produced by Kanye in what were referred to as the "Wyoming Sessions", like Pusha T's DAYTONA, the joint album with Kid Cudi named KIDS SEE GHOSTS, Nas' NASIR, and Teyana Taylor's K.T.S.E.
