My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the fifth studio album by American musician Kanye West. Released on November 22, 2010, by Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records, the album followed a turbulent period of public controversy for West, prompting a "self-imposed exile" in Hawaii. There, he created the album in a collaborative, communal recording environment with numerous contributing musicians and producers. Guest vocalists on the album include Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Bon Iver, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Rick Ross, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Elton John, and Raekwon. Production was primarily handled by West, with additional input from acclaimed producers such as Mike Read more on Last.fm.
