Don C, Ibn Jasper, John Monopoly, Rhymefest, Really Doe, GLC, Free Maiden - Day 1 Crew from Chicago. They all work for or with Kanye in some capacity.Like who?
No ID - Mentor
Tony Williams - 1st cousin (His father is the brother of Kanye's mother)
That's him @ 4:38. You'll recognise his vocals on pretty much every Kanye album. Provides vocals on tour with Kanye.
Devo Springsteen - Cousin, co-producer, best friend and former college roommate of John Legend. He introduced the two of them to each other back in 2000.
John Legend - obvious.
Jerry Lorenzo - Designer hangs out with Kanye all the time.
Common - Known him since he was 14, been on tour together, worked more closely with Kanye than any other artist, including Jay.
Mos Def and Talib - He rolled with these two heavy when he was coming up and after his initial success. It was Mos who convinced him to go on hiatus from music and leave America for a while following the fallout from the 09 VMAs.
Virgil Abloh. - Creative director.
Heck, I bet guys like Mike Dean, Plain Pat, Anthony Kilhoffer and even Jeff Bhasker would be above Jay on the pecking order.
Kanye wasn't even invited to Jay's wedding.
