1. The Blueprint

The Kanye Story

Available for over a year

Mobeen Azhar is joined by guests to unpack the early stages of Kanye’s life in music. Going back to his upbringing with activist parents, the panel discuss how a horrific car crash nearly derailed Kanye’s career. But he successfully moved from being a producer for other rappers like Jay-Z to signing a solo deal with Roc-A-Fella and winning a Grammy for his debut studio album College Dropout - a record that would write him into pop music history. What took Kanye West from hit-maker to a political agitator, spreading anti-Jewish hate? And where does he go next? Mobeen explores the rapper's rise and fall. Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producer: Ashley Clivery Assistant Producer: Edith Rousselot Executive Producer: Peter Sale Sound Mixing: Adam Lieber Forest Sounds for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
