Ever since Kanye West and Jay-Z released “H.A.M” this January, the industry and internet have been buzzing about their Watch The Throne project. Rumors existed that the project wasn’t happening and then questions were raised about if it would ever make it to release. It’s existence was confirmed last week when Hov hosted a listening party for 20 industry insiders. GQ’s Sean Fennessey was in attendance at the party and in his article gave a solid overview of each track. Now thanks to Jay’s own Life and Times site, we have a full and official tracklist for the project. Highlights include track five, “Gotta Have It,” where the duo pens verses to their unborn sons; “Otis,” featuring the legendary Otis Redding; and finally the first and eleventh tracks, both featuring Frank Ocean. This is shaping up to be one epic production. To preorder Watch The Throne head here and you can find the tracklist below.
