Having conquored the musical world with both his solo LP 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' and his collabroation album 'Watch The Throne' with Jay-Z, you could argue that Kanye West deserved some time off from the musical world. But Ye just can't sit still.
Now along with being one of the most outspoken and listened to rappers on the planet and a producer extroidanaire, Mr West has also decided to take up the turntables and teach himself the art of DJing. After some time behind the decks in recent months (probably getting some expert advice from his tour DJ and one-half of Duck Sauce, A-Trak) he decided to offer up his services for New Years Eve as DJ Yeezy World Peace (If you want to know what that name is all about, google Ron Artest of NBA team the LA Lakers).
The Mirage Casino's new nightclub took Kanye up on his offer and he spent New Years spinning his own tracks mixed in with a healthy slab of hip hop, pop and even some classic 80's tracks too. Check the sketchy phone video of him playing his own track below.
Whilst not perfecting his new hobby, Kanye is also working on his new G.O.O.D. Music compilation album with all the rappers on his record label roster such as Common, Pusha T and Kid Cudi.
