'''''Yeezer''''' is a [[2015]] mashup album by Alex Hodowanec (also known as [https://soundcloud.com/chuckie-nugget Chuckie Nugget]). It features songs by [[Weezer]] [[Wikipedia:Mashup_(music)|mashed-up]] with songs by American rapper [[Wikipedia:Kanye West|Kanye West]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
''Yeezer'' was based on a joke by a friend of Hodowanec's, who blurted out the title. He started work on the album a few years before its release, and only finished it in the fall of 2015.<ref name="DLYEE">"Download ‘Yeezer’: A Kanye West and Weezer Mashup Album". ''Radio.com''.
