Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Rapper superstar Kanye West has released his own search engine for his fans. Together with Prodege LLC, West has launched www.searchwithkanyewest.com, a search engine that will reward the users with merchandise and prizes.

The search engine is powered by search engine leader Google and Ask so the users will get the same result as they would when they use the top searcher. But with searchwithkanyewest.com, the users will receive rewards in the form of Swag Bucks, West's version of digital dollars, which can be exchanged for autographed CDs, clothings, and other Kanye West merchandise.

Ron Leshem, VP of Marketing of Prodege, says this will be a two-way beneficial scheme for both fans and West. "Being one of the top music artists of his generation, Kanye has a large and dedicated fan base. This is the perfect way for fans to support Kanye, while also earning a chance to win some amazing prizes for themselves."

This is not the first time Prodege LLC released a search engine in conjunction with an artist. Since their launch in 2006, the leading internet provider of branded search engines has already partnered with personalities from sports and music including searchwiththeused.com, searchwithakon.com, searchwithbeyonce.com, searchwithwillienelson.com, searchwithstaind.com, and searchwithrandymoss.com. The complete list of Prodege partner sites can be viewed at: www.swagbuck.com.

Fans may download Kanye West's toolbar at www.searchwithkanyewest.com to increase their chances of winning.
