Earlier this week, we showed you Kanye West’s performance of his new Symbolyc One-produced single, “Power,” at the BET Awards on Sunday night. Well, this morning, DFW-produced single earned its release via an exclusive iTunes arrangement. And it’s doing OK, too, currently sitting at No. 5 on iTunes’ Hip-Hop/Rap Songs chart. Not that so much is all that surprising: The King Crimson-sampling song is straight fire, folks.

What is somewhat surprising, though–and, let’s be honest, with Kanye, nothing’s really all that shocking any more–is the single’s accompanying artwork, released late last night. It’s created quite the hullabaloo. Entertainment Weekly, for instance, is calling it “bizarre.” Me? I kinda like it.

Check the back cover art after the jump.
