Symbolyc One, the co-producer or Kanye‘s new single Power, talks about connecting with him through Rhymefest.
Initially, he didn’t think West would be interested in the beat, because a drum break resembles a sound the rapper already visited on “Crack Music,” a song from one of his previous albums.
But West showed a heavy interest in the song, and used it to fire back at his detractors: “I’m living in the 21st century, doing something mean to it,” ‘Ye raps on the first verse. “Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it/ Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it/ I guess every superhero need his theme music.”
“It was incredible,” the producer said. “We would just listen to the joint in the studio over and over, with the lights turned down and these layers of lights on in the studio. And we would bang it loud, over and over.”
