History

Early history

Studio 11 was initially opened in a coach house building at 11 East Superior Street by Alex Gross and Dan Scalpone, while students of sound engineering at Columbia College in Chicago. By 1999 the studio expanded to the top floor at 209 W. Lake St. with two music studios to accommodate larger volumes of recording. Early adaptation of digital technology established Studio 11 as a premiere destination for recording rap and electronic music, highlighted by the early works of Kanye West,[2][3] Lupe Fiasco, Yung Berg, and Crucial Conflict as well as more recent recordings with Rockie Fresh,[4] Cashis, and French rapper Gradur.

Music

Alex Gross, the studio’s founder became known with the recording of Payroll 125,[5][6] a rap album featuring the Kanye West produced song Never Change, which was sold to Jay Z and re-released on The Blueprint., a critically acclaimed album.[7] In 2011, Studio 11 became a curator for WFMU New York’s Free Music Archive. The studio released nearly 200 contributions with over 100,000 downloads, featuring Greenskeepers, Glass Lux,[8] Track Jackit, Angel Alanis,[9] The Dread, and other artists.[10]
