Intent on pursuing a solo occupation as a rapper, he produced his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to essential and professional good results. Because of his affiliation with D-Dot, West was not ready to launch a solo album, so he shaped and became a member and producer of the Go-Getters, a late-nineteen nineties Chicago rap group composed of him, GLC, Timmy G, Really Doe, and Arrowstar.
