Watch The Throne
Considered one of the most legendary collab albums of all time, Watch the Throne puts together two of the most legendary figures in music history for a full studio album. Kanye teams up with his big brother, JAY-Z, for an album, focused primarily on luxury, black excellence, and the American dream. The album's production also reflects that, and having been recorded by two future billionaires primarily in New York City's Tribeca Grand Hotel, how could it not?
