The Chicago, IL-based Rhymefest first gained national
attention as the co-songwriter of Kanye West's Grammy-
winning "Jesus Walks." His association with West actually
went back several years prior; the MC's independently
released Raw Dawg, issued in 2001, was produced entirely by
a pre-fame West. Later signed to Mark Ronson's J Records-
distributed Allido label, Rhymefest put together Blue Collar
for a March 2006 release. Its first single, "Brand New,"
also featured production from West, as well as extensive
assistance from No I.D. (Common, G-Unit). The two remain
close friends today with Rhymefest recently returning from
Hawaii where they were collaborating on Kanye's forthcoming
project. The new project from Rhymefest, entiteld El Che is
a smart urban hip hop record addressing contemporary issues
with strong melodic hooks. It's a bit of a thowback with
live drums, horns, and guitar, bass and background vocals.
Features and guest MCs include: Phonte, El, Little Brother &
Darien Brockington and Slique.
