Kanye West - The College Dropout

On his debut album The College Dropout, Kanye West singlehandedly set hip-hop on a new path, introducing himself as one of the 21st Century’s most innovative artists. Multi-faceted, idiosyncratic and packed with enough pop nous to conquer the charts, it brought him both critical acclaim and huge commercial success.

Driven by a need to express himself further after nearly losing his life in an accident leaving his jaw wired shut, an inspired West used The College Dropout as both a conduit for his newfound energy and a welcome distraction from the pain of his recovery. The result was a work brimming with creativity, its positivist message intoning the listener to “Make Your own decisions. Don’t let society tell you, This is what you have to do". The album features the singles "Through the Wire", "Slow Jamz", "All Falls Down" and "Jesus Walks"

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by ROC-A-FELLA Records in 2024.
