Kanye West & **Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins**

In 2010, JYJ released their album, “The Beginning.” Title track, “Ayyy Girl” was produced, and featured Kanye West, while “Empty,” and “Be My Girl” was produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

“I’m really glad to work with JYJ on their debut album. It’s all about the East meeting the West these days and the world is becoming a melting pot of various cultures. To have Kanye and myself champion the cause of unifying the world through the international language of music and introducing top artistes from one end of the globe to this end in America makes this a very special project to us.”
