Kanye West - Graduation - CD

"Graduation" is the third studio album by American rapper Kanye West, released on September 11, 2007, through Roc-A-Fella Records. The album is known for its innovative production, unique sound, and departure from the soul-sampling style that characterized West's earlier work. It marked a shift towards a more electronic and synth-driven sound, incorporating elements of rock and pop.

The album's cover art, designed by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, features a colorful and cartoonish representation of Kanye West in a dropout bear mascot suit against a striking background. The artwork reflects West's artistic vision and the theme of graduation and evolution.

"Graduation" includes several hit singles, such as "Stronger," which samples Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," and "Good Life" featuring T-Pain. These tracks contributed to the album's commercial success and critical acclaim. "Graduation" is often considered part of West's trilogy of albums, including "The College Dropout" and "Late Registration," and is celebrated for its groundbreaking production and Kanye West's continued influence on the hip-hop genre.
