No, Kanye West and Jay-Z’s highly-anticipated Watch The Throne has nothing to do with medieval HBO characters. What these two megastars are planning is a collaborative album that will get the music’s heaviest hitters behind the mic. And as of right now, rumors are circulating that both Beyonce and Bruno Mars will be joining the rap kingpins for the project.
Fans got their first taste of Watch The Throne this past January, when West and Hov released their hip-hop duet “H.A.M.” Produced by Lex Luger, “H.A.M.” (which stands for “Hard As a Motherf-cker”) got quite a bit of traction on the charts, selling over 125,000 digital copies on iTunes.
Now, news is breaking that the second song from Throne will be “Lift Off,” a melodic anthem featuring vocals from both Beyonce and Mars. Though an exact release date for the single (or the album for that matter) has yet to be revealed, MTV is claiming that Kanye and Jay-Z are both hard at work finishing up tracks in Paris.
It is also being reported that Lil Wayne’s producer Bangladesh has been tapped to help polish up a few final beats. In a recent interview about Throne, he stated,
"Sh-- is dope! You know what [Kanye and Jay-Z] do. It's not gonna be nothing less of what y'all expect them to do. It's actually on another level."
With all of the A-list talent on board, how could it not be?
