He is joined by other firefighters as well as members of the police department and emergency medical services. CHARLES LITTLE II ACE Charles is an accomplished motion picture editor, television producer and an award-winning multimedia creative.

He's cut many music videos, short films, and a sum of 7 indie feature films since his first, and 2 more as Additional Editor.

West came onto the scene in the aughts as a producer wunderkind and created classic tracks for artists like Jay Z, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys. He soon pivoted into a career as a rapper and gained fame in 2003 with the hit song "Through the Wire." Even then, as Kanye rapped through a jaw wired shut after a car accident, audiences could see the drive and determination in Kanye the artist. Kanye changed the course of hip hop. Without Yeezy you have no Drake. No Tyler. No Cudi. But Kanye's ride to the top has been a bumpy one. There was the untimely death of his mother early in his career which many have speculated as a reason for his various mental breaks. There have been numerous antics in front of and behind the cameras. Not to mention the marriage to Kim Kardashian which left many fans stunned!It hasn't been easy to be a Kanye fan.
