How does it compare to the artist's other releasesGood
Kanye West is new comer to Roc-A-Fella Records and this is his debut with to more albums coming in 2005.
In this album he features artists such as Jay-Z,Twista, Jamie Foxxx, His childhood friend Seleena Johnson.
The Single on this album in no order are "Workout Plan" which he does healthy exercisements to be a better mother and relation ships.
"all falls down" in which he raps with Seleena who does the chorus.
"Jesus Walks" a great songs showing how he lived and how Jesus walks with him.
And the newest single "Through The Wire" is about how gratefull in life he is after surviving a car crash on his way to the grammies other people inside the car including Twista and Mase.
The only serious injurys is how Kanye got three wires inside his jaw. He still carrys on and will.
A great debut anyone who is giving rap music a chance should buy this album and also a great start to the rocafella family.
Expect his album "The Late Registration" in Febuary and "Dynasty" in late 2005.
