AUDIO: S1 Talks Producing ‘Power’ For KanYe West
Posted In News by Speeakz
S1, the producer behind KanYe’s new (incredible) single ‘Power’ talks to MTV about how the collaboration came about, listen up top…
“The way it came together, I work with Rhymefest,” S1 told MTV News about the song, referring to another Chicago MC. “I did like four joints on his album. And one day, out the blue, I got a text from Rhymefest that said, ‘Kanye is loving your stuff, he said he’s about to change your life.’ Two days later, I got an e-mail that said my flight to Hawaii [where West recorded much of the album] leaves in three hours! So I was on a flight, and it just happened like that. I went down and stayed for like two weeks, banged out some joints.
I love the fact that Ye is saying “one man should’t have this much power” but then, he can say to a relatively unknown producer “I’m about to change your life” – beyond dope. KanYe is that dude. The single has been on CONSTANT repeat since it dropped yesterday. Welcome back Mr West.
