The longtime friends and music innovators inspired each other to new heights with their collaboration recorded in person at various locations around the world. Over a year in the making and a truly global affair, the duo recorded in London and Bath in the UK, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Paris, and New York City. The album features production from The RZA, The Neptunes and Kanye's longtime collaborator Mike Dean. The short list of featured vocals includes Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Curtis Mayfield and Mr. Hudson. The lead track, 'Otis' even tramples over Otis Redding's 'Try A Little Tenderness.'
Both Jay Z and Kanye West have each appeared as guests on the other's stage, and now they come together to perform Watch The Throne alongside songs from their respective catalogues.
Their UK and Ireland tour dates are:
Sun 20 May The O2 Arena, London
Fri 08 June Dublin O2 Arena, Ireland
Mon 11 June MEN Arena, Manchester
Wed 13 June LG Arena, Birmingham
With additional dates to be added.
