Charlie Puth, who’s a known follower of hip-hop music, shows out the GOOD Music boss’ debut effort with huge praise.
“College dropout really did change hip hop,” wrote the See You Again hitmaker. The project is one of the top streamed Kanye West’s albums on Streaming service Spotify, which was the reason he’s topping the US in the past couple of days.
