Kanye and Jay-Z drop new song,album release date

Thu 21st Jul, 2011 in International News

Following on from the unveiling of the track list and gold-plated artwork for their hugely anticipated collaboration Watch The Throne, Jay-Z and Kanye West have dropped a new single Otis (Feat. Otis Redding), and finally confirmed that the full album will be released on August 8th.

Since releasing the underwhelming track H*A*M earlier on in the year, much doubt had been cast over the quality of the forthcoming record. However, with H*A*M now demoted to a “bonus” track on the record and this new tune sounding much closer to what we would expect from two of hip-hops finest, August 8th can’t come soon enough.

Listen to Otis (Feat. Otis Redding) and let us know what you think:
