A 19-year-old aspiring music producer and Ohio State University sophomore, Alex Hodowanec, has taken the online music community by storm with his mashup of tracks from Kanye West and Weezer on Audiomack entitled “Yeezer.” Hodowanec told Radio.com that he had been working on the project on and off for three years before he uploaded the 10 tracks to Bandcamp, a publishing platform for musicians last week. Reddit started buzzing about it, and now the playlist has topped the album chart on Audiomack, another site where artists can share their music.
