Kanye’s love for Wyoming was first seen throughout his music and those of his record label affiliates. The rapper’s cover art for his album Ye was a landscape photo of the mountains in Wyoming. While a majority of the albums released under Kanye’s record label, G.O.O.D Music, including Pusha T’s DAYTONA album, were produced in the state.
