about

The Music Nerd Guy’s AU version of Kanye West; everything written isn’t real and is based on The Music Nerd Guys AU lore. Kanye Williams Omari (née West), born June 8, 1977, is an American rapper, record producer, music executive, fashion designer, poet and entrepreneur. He has consistently been one of the most prominent figures in hip hop, known for his genrebending fusion of diverse genres and grandiose persona. After dropping out of college to pursue a career in music, West began producing for regional artists in the Chicago area. As an in-house producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, he co-produced albums including Jay-Z’s *The Blueprint* (2002) before signing with the label as a recording artist. West’s debut studio album, *The College Dropout* (2004) and its subsequent sequels *Late Registration* (2005) and *Graduation* (2007) received massive critical acclaim. Kanye has topped the Billboard Hot 100 8 times — “Slow Jamz” (2004), “Gold Digger” (2005), “Stronger” (2007), “E.T.” (2011, as a featured arrist), “Drunk In Love” (2012, did not reach #1 until 2014), “Ghost Town” (2018), “wait for you” (2023) and “everybody” (2024). Omari’s next releases across the late 2000s and early 2010s would expand in scope, adding in electronic and orchestral elements until culminating in *Thank God For Drugs* (2012). Subsequent album *So Help Me God!* (2015) would be certified triple platinum alongside *My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy* (2010) and *808s & Heartbreak* (2008). After a hiatus,
