Rhymefest has collaborated in times past with his Chicago brethren Kanye West and is counted as one of his closest allies in the industry. The “Brand New” artist announced today that he’s purchased West’s boyhood home and is turning it into a location for Donda’s House, the non-profit operation named after Yeezy’s late mother.
The rapper, real name Che Smith, posted a photo of himself on Instagram announcing the purchase and the aims of the space. Rhymefest intends to turn the home into an arts incubator space complete with a recording studio and hosting a series of teaching opportunities as well.
“I’m excited to announce the purchase of Kanye’s childhood home as a community Arts incubator. It will be the first of our Nationwide Lite-Houses. A state of the art recording studio, a curriculum space for @dondashouse and southside music museum,” wrote Rhymefest for the Instagram photo caption.
