Kanye West “Power” Remix, ft. Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz

Kanye West taps big brother Jay-Z and Mr. Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, for the highly anticipated, promised (and overdue) remix to his well-received “Power”. Kanye himself originally hinted that the remix would drop last week, but it took until now, finally hit radio and the internet overnight, on Funkmaster Flex’ radio show and then on hip hop sites like NahRight.

The remix starts off musically similar, but then switches to using the beat from the 1990′s classic club track “The Power,” by Snap.

Many are calling Kanye’s artistic video for “Power”, which he calls a “painting,” a possible front runner for Video of the Year. Kanye was recently interviewed by Angie Martinez, on NY’s Hot 97, where he debuted “See Me Now,” a new song featuring Beyonce and Charlie Wilson. During the interview, Kanye touched upon several issues in his life, including dealing with his mother’s death, the work he’s putting into his new album and his co-sign of Nicki Minaj.
