Kon the Louis Vuitton Don is the third mixtape by American rapper Kanye West, and the last project before the release of his debut studio album The College Dropout. The mixtape is named after "the Louis Vuitton Don", a moniker West used to refer to himself as, and was released on January 24, 2004.[1][2][3]
The mixtape had a relatively big release at the time in comparison with West's other mixtapes having both a CD and a vinyl. It was released on January 24, 2004 as an independent release by West. The mixtape is composed of tracks that West produced but did not perform, as well as multiple original Kanye West songs. Many have not yet been released on streaming services.
Various online communities speculated that the mixtape was fanmade, because unlike other early West mixtapes, the project did not have the Roc-A-Fella logo on it. This was later proven false after West confirmed the mixtape's existence in an interview with Complex.[4]
