Kanye West
Kanye West is a hip-hop artist with a singularly individual vision who never stops coming up with inventive sounds and styles. He started out as a producer for the likes of Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson, but since the relase of 2004’s The College Droput, Kanye has been a rap superstar in his own right. All five of his albums have gone platinum, and he has received 14 Grammys to date.
Kanye won the Ultimate Urban EMA in 2008 and the Best Hip-Hop EMA in 2006. His most recent solo release is 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and he made a cameo at that year’s EMAs onstage with 30 Seconds to Mars. His collaboration with fellow hip-hop superstar Jay-Z, Watch the Throne, dropped in August 2011 to much fan anticipation and critical acclaim; digital sales for its first week were the highest ever for a rap album.
