Kanye West's First Beats


Former Interscope Records rapper and employee Jensen Karp stumbled upon some CD's in his garage, given to him in 2001 while serving his time on the label. The CD labels had Kanye West on them and is believed to be the first set of beats created by Mr. West. According to Karp, "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."
