Records 'Through the Wire' with Wired Jaw

November 2002

Just weeks after his near-fatal car accident, with his jaw still wired shut, Kanye enters the studio and records 'Through the Wire' — sampling Chaka Khan and rapping about his brush with death. The song becomes a defining statement of his indomitable will and the emotional anchor of his debut album.
