Kanye West & Jay-Z – “Otis”
This old school, Stax Records-inspired “luxury rap” (as Yeezy says during one of his rhymes) is everything “H.A.M.” wasn’t — accessible, laid back, catchy, and full of life. This LP has been highly anticipated for awhile, but now we’re officially stoked to hear the whole thing. Watch The Throne drops August 1 and August 5.
