Exclusive: The Hype Men & DJBooth Release Kanye West's First Beat Tapes (Disc 2)
and
DJBooth.net
are proud to present
Kanye West's First Beats (Disc 2)
, a collection of what we believe to be the first beats from the now world famous Mr. West ever released.
"Last week I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed
Interscope
rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in 2001, had the name
Kanye West
on them. These two beat CDs, now celebrating their 10 year anniversary and I believe the oldest Kanye beats ever released, are here for your enjoyment.

Sarkodie, Offset Jim & ALEMEDA: Best of the Week
Sarkodie, Offset Jim, and ALEMEDA, among others, had the best new songs on Audiomack this week.
I think this collection of early Kanye beats shows you where he came from, even if it doesn't necessarily sound like 'Kanye' now. He kept at it and became the incredible producer he is today. I remember he even had to leave the studio sessions early, so he could make the last train back to his mom's house. He's come a long way, and I'm proud to have been around, even if for just a second at the start."
