Watch The Throne

Jay-Z

Two prominent hip-hop figures combined their efforts on this project, resulting in a display of wealth and aggressive intent. The work functions as a bold statement of abundance, mixing large-scale musical arrangements with focused, personal verses.

The studio work features heavy, dramatic textures characteristic of the rap style common at the start of that decade. Distributed by Roc-A-Fella, the collection reflects a period when unconventional vocal snippets and powerful drum rhythms established the norms for commercial success.
