Kanye demonstrated an affinity for the arts from an early age, beginning with writing poetry at five years old. He started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. After graduating from high school, Kanye received a scholarship to attend Chicago's American Academy of Art in 1997 and began taking painting classes. He transferred to Chicago State University to study English but dropped out at age 20 to pursue his musical career, much to his mother's initial dismay.

Musical Career: Early Work and Breakthrough

Kanye's early production career began in the mid-1990s, creating beats primarily for burgeoning local artists around Chicago. His first official production credits came at age nineteen when he produced eight tracks on Down to Earth, the 1996 debut album of Chicago rapper Grav. In 1998, Kanye became the first producer signed to the management-production company Hip Hop Since 1978.

Kanye's production work on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" in 2001 was a turning point, revitalizing Jay-Z's career and establishing Kanye as a sought-after producer. Despite his success, Kanye struggled to be signed as a rapper. His persistence paid off when he was signed to Roc-A-Fella Records, thanks in part to his unique style that diverged from the then-dominant gangsta persona in mainstream hip-hop.

A near-fatal car accident in 2002 led to the creation of "Through the Wire," showcasing Kanye's resilience and determination. This track laid the foundation for his debut album, "The College Dropout," released in 2004, which challenged hip-hop norms and achieved critical and commercial success.

Rise to Stardom: Subsequent Albums and Fashion Ventures

Kanye's follow-up albums, "Late Registration" (2005), "Graduation" (2007), "808s & Heartbreak" (2008), "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" (2010), and "Yeezus" (2013), each marked a new chapter in his career, exploring new sounds and themes. His ventures into fashion, including collaborations with Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gap, and Adidas, further solidified his status as a cultural icon.

Fashion Ventures

Parallel to his music career, Kanye made significant inroads into the fashion industry, most notably with his Yeezy brand in collaboration with Adidas.
