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.
