Kanye and Jay-Z's long-awaited collaboration Watch the Throne is scheduled to drop August 8th. Despite early worries of trend-chasing with disappointments like the Lex Luger showcase "H.A.M.", the latest leak "Otis" shows Kanye back at the peak of his production game, flawlessly sampling Otis Redding and going toe-to-toe with the greatest retired rapper alive thereon. Production on other tracks will come from 88 Keys, Q-Tip, The Neptunes, RZA, Hit-Boy, Swizz Beatz, Southside, No I.D., Mike Dean, Sak Pase, and S1, with guest spots limited to Beyonce, Mr. Hudson, and Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean.
