Rhymefest

Fresh off his 2005 Grammy win for co-writing the rap song of the year “Jesus Walks” with Kanye West, Chicago native, Rhymefest is set to release his highly-anticipated debut album Blue Collar, this summer on Allido Records/J Records. The sharp-witted MC is expected to have fellow Chi-town representatives, Kanye, Twista, Common and Carl Thomas as well as Q-Tip and the late Dirt McGirt (aka ODB) featured on his album. Despite the great guest appearances, it’s Rhymefest’s sharp wit and lethal sense of humor that sets him apart and carries this opus driven album from track to track.
Rhymefest’s foray into hip-hop began as a battle MC in Chicago, which led him to traverse the world winning battles against such notables as Eminem, Juice, Swann and many more. With an impressive discography* of guest appearances, singles and mixtapes, Rhymefest has been honing his craft for years and is poised to be the artist to watch out for in 2005. I believe the album drops next month. Be on the lookout...
