A very special edition of The Sampler.
This week, Nujac goes in depth into the music of the greatest sampler of all time: Kanye West. From his humble beginnings as a producer on Chicago’s south side in the 1990s to the polarizing figure he is today, Kanye is one of the most influential figures in popular culture.
