In a rare occurrence, Jay-Z and Kanye’s long-awaited Watch The Throne album went on sale this morning via iTunes without leaking beforehand. AMAZING. Even more amazing though, is the music itself. I’m loving this album, it’s early days of listening but this doesn’t sound like a thrown together album by any stretch.
The 16-track deluxe album features Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Mr Hudson, samples from Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Curtis Mayfield and production from Neptunes, Q-Tip, Swizz Beats, RZA, No I.D and more. Peep the physical artwork.
