Before A-Track's status as an award winning DJ and successful executive, he was *Kanye West's tour DJ*. In a 2015 interview with [Pitchfork](\(http://pitchfork.com/news/58785-a-trak-reveals-process-behind-kanye-west-songs-gold-digger-stronger-robocop-on-genius/), the Canadian native elaborates on how he gained the trust of Mr. West and became one of his most trusted ears for music and fashion. A- Trak has credits on a few of Kanye's biggest hits, like “Gold Digger”, “Stronger”, and “Robocop”. Courtesy of Earworm and narrated by Kanye himself, this playlist is stacked with a barrage of Ye-produced classics from the early 2000s. The Fools Gold's foudner flexes his scratching abilities over soulful samples from Nina Simone, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and a few others. Ranging from “Heart in the City” to “Through the Wire,” take a stroll down memory lane when you hear the original cuts from your favorite tracks. Just short of 40 minutes, the mix is a must-listen for any lover of Kanye, Samples, or good vibes. ![Sean Freeman](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/unnamed-71.jpg) ### Written by [Sean Freeman](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/sean-freeman) Sean is a freelance blogger & entrepreneur hailing from Dayton, Ohio who brings engaging content to the A3C editorial team.
