Rhymefest Buys Kanye’s Childhood Home for Donda’s House Charity

Rhymefest, longtime Kanye West collaborator and current creative director of Kanye’s non-profit organization, Donda’s House, has purchased Kanye’s childhood home for the charity. According to Rhymefest, it will be used as a “community Arts incubator.” The space will be the first in a series of “Nationwide Lite-Houses.” It will include a recording studio, a curriculum space, and a Southside music museum. Find his full announcement below.

“We want to show bright spots in communities that’ve been divested from,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “We know more Lights exist here, they just need to be activated.” Donda’s House, which was co-founded by Kanye in 2013 and is named for his late mother, is a non-profit designed to provide arts and music programs for Chicago’s “at-risk communities.”
