Get well soon is the first mixtape by American rapper Kanye West, released on December 14, 2002. It was most likely named after West's car accident that inspired the creation of his first single called "Through the Wire".[1][2][3]

Background

[edit]

The mixtape was released on CD by West's then-record label Roc-A-Fella Records on December 14, 2002. The mixtape is composed of snippets of tracks as well as finished songs that would later end up on Kanye's debut studio album The College Dropout, such as Jesus Walks and Two Words. Multiple original Kanye West songs that are on the mixtape have not been released on streaming services, and tracks from other rappers that Kanye produced but did not perform are on the mixtape.[4]
