When the world’s biggest hip-hop superstar decides to put on his first ever live TV concert from his hometown, it’s kind of a really big deal. FUSE presents the historic performance to benefit the Kanye West Foundation. Kanye West - Live From The Chicago Theatre world television premiere Saturday July 25th at 8pm/7c exclusively on FUSE.
“I thought back to when I was in high school: I was very much into music, but the equipment was really expensive and hard to get a hold of. The basketball court at school was free; it was also free to play a violin or a drum set, but the way music on the radio is made, there was nothing in high school that helped with that.”

Welcome to our brand new website for the Kanye West Foundation. It’s been an amazing summer since the big concert in Chicago last month, and we have a lot of plans to continue to maintain this high level of awareness and momentum. The current site will act as a central hub for people to connect with one another and learn about what’s going on with the Foundation and it’s members.
