New Kanye West Song- "Power"

Guess who's back and finally off autotune, that's right...Kanye West. One of the most polarizing figures in music is back in the game with what could be the first single off his "Good Ass Job" LP.

Kanye is still his same old combative self on "Power", calling out the entire Saturday Night Live cast. West is still as abrasive as ever and I think this track could have an Eminem-like impact on the charts.

For those that didn't know Eminem's "Not Afraid" debuted and immediately hit number 1 on the Billboard charts. Something only 16 other artists have done in the history of Billboard. Eminem has a new album dropping this summer too. "Recovery" is Eminem's 7th studio album and is the highly anticipated follow-up to the disappointing accent-filled Relapse.

But back, to the man of the day, Kanye. West is back with a bang and it won't be long until you hear this on the radio, and in some parts of the US it's probably already there.

Expect to hear alot more from Kanye as we get closer to his reported fall release.

Expect alot of music stuff here on What's Ill as this is gonna be a summer of hot releases from some big time names and as I said we still have Drake to review, so music will be on the menu for What's Ill this summer and this is the perfect time to roll out my rating system.

It's a scale of four categories: Not Ill, Kinda Ill, Ill and Very Ill. Pretty simple, right?

So for now enjoy Kanye Wests' Power, which gets a rating of Ill.
