According to longtime producer and friend of Jay-Z, Young Guru claims the collaboration album between Jay-Z and Kanye West is complete. We are still awaiting a release date.
The Watch the Throne album was the subject of talk at this year’s SXSW music festival and Guru spoke to VIBE magazine about the “Ye” and Jay project.
“Right now, I’m really trying to get Jay and Kanye to hurry up and finish this Watch The Throne album because the world needs to hear it. It just needs little tweaks and things like that. But the core of the album is finished.”
Guru also dropped a hint that a new Jay-Z solo prokect was in the works.
“Jay’s a consummate thinker, so sometimes he’ll call and be like ‘yo what do you think about this.’ And he said this idea to me that I wish I could tell the world about. Some ideas are so simple and in-your-face, that they’re so incredibly smart,” Guru continues.
“So this next idea— when you hear this title — the world is going to say ‘why didn’t Jay think of that for the first album.’ The title and concept just fits in perfectly. It’s so simple, but yet so elegant at the same time. [Jay] can’t stop, it’s in his blood.”
A final release date for Watch The Throne is still unknown.
We will keep and eye on this story.
