Stream ‘Yeezer,’ the new Kanye West and Weezer Mashup Album

By: Staff –

Alex Hodowanec at Ohio State University has created a Kanye West and Weezer mash-up album.

“A couple of summers ago I got into Weezer,” Hodowanec tells Radio.com. “I’m a little bit too young for the first wave of Weezer, but over the years hearing about how old Weezer was really good—I listened to some of their older albums and it turned out that it was really good. We listened to the albums in the car that summer.” It turns out it was his friend Andy who blurted out the name Yeezer as a joke. But as time went on, the name grew on Hodowanec to the point where he he may be onto something.

“The first song I started working on was the first song on the album—which is Kanye’s song through the ‘Through The Wire,’ mixed with ‘Beverly Hills.’ I just kinda figured ‘Beverly’ Hills was the most iconic Weezer song. It was really just a matter of finding songs that had similar feels and tempos from that point on.”

“Once that first song clicked, I thought, you might as well just go for nine more, right?”
