John Legend has already been chosen as the recipient of this year's Humanitarian Award, given to celebrity philanthropists who donate their money and time to a charitable cause. Past honorees include Alicia Keys, Wyclef Jean, Quincy Jones, actor Don Cheadle and more.
Kanye has been gradually stepping back into the spotlight since his self-imposed exile last year, having recently released his new single 'Power' to the Internet last week. The song is assumed to be a street single from his upcoming fifth album 'Good Ass Job', which reportedly features production from Pete Rock, Q-Tip, RZA, DJ Premier, No I.D. and more. The album is expected to hit stores in September.
