GRADUATION is the 3rd installment in the Kanye West series of ground breaking albums, targeting every school kid, from those that have dropped out, to those late registrants, and to those who have gone on and completed school. West teams up with veterans Daft Punk and Edwin Birdson on "Stronger" (second single); as well as enlisted the help from current chart topper T-pain on "Good Life". Chris Martin of Coldplay appears on a track called "HomeComing" as well. Kanye has continued to prove his understanding and appreciation for a wide array of music and musical influences. What makes GRADUATION so special? Like most Kanye titles, his fearlessness and blindness to inhibiting boundaries, couple with his fan driven core competence is evidence that he knows exactly what people yearns for... great music, and a voice to be heard.
