Rhymefest just became the third rapper to win an Oscar and a Grammy

While Eminem was the first rapper dude to take home both awards, the fact that Rhymefest is a fairly obscure Chicago MC best known these days for having written Kanye West’s ‘Jesus Walks’ is impressive. Thanks to being the co-writer of ‘Glory’ from the Selma soundtrack, ‘Fest (real name Che Smith) now has a second trophy to sit on his shelf.

In recognition of dude getting recognition for his pen game up, here are the only Rhymefest songs I know from his pre-Mark Ronson days:

Rhymefest feat. Juice –How We Chill Part 2

Molemen feat. Rhymefest –Prepare For The Fest‘ [Panik Remix]

Molemen feat. Vakill, Rhymefest and Percee P –Keep The Fame

Coincidentally, both Eminem and Rhymefest went toe to toe at Scribble Jam in 1997
