Kanye West emerged from a middle-class Chicago upbringing to become one of the biggest stars in hip-hop. He is internationally renowned for his three solo releases, his production work for other artists, and for his outspoken personality.
14-time Grammy-winner Kanye West made a triumphant return to NBC's Saturday Night Live in October, delivering breathtaking performances of his anthem "Power," and his newest single, "Runaway," from his highly anticipated new album MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY.
Spin called Kanye's SNL performance "one of the show's most unique performances of all-time," and MSNBC hailed him "a comeback king...West's SNL performance proved once again he is an artist and will continue to take chances in the music industry -- ultimately breaking new ground."
Capitalizing on this burst of energy in the ongoing campaign towards the much-anticipated November 22 release of his new album, West boarded a plane for Europe and elsewhere, embarking on a whirlwind tour of the globe. Beginning in Paris, and then moving on to London, Tokyo and Sydney, Kanye hosted VIP premieres of `RUNAWAY,' the short film debut and visual accompaniment to the new album MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY. Written and directed by West - and starring Kanye and Selita Ebanks - MTV News hailed `Runaway' as "an intense and gorgeous experience that should earn West some serious credibility as a filmmaker." `RUNAWAY' made its television and online premiere on Saturday, October 23 with a simultaneous broadcast events on MTV, BET, MTV2 and live stream on MTV.com, BET.com and VH1.com.
Kanye has always dreamed of bringing his music to life in the form of film; `Runaway' is the realization of that dream. A tale of loss and renewal, through West's ambitious new film we are able to glimpse his unique vision as never before.
