JAY-Z and Kanye West’s relationship has been fraught for the last several years, but the two rappers are back together today on a new song from Kanye’s DONDA album premiered during an Apple Music live stream. On the track, the MCs reflect on their history of collaboration and even hint at the possibility of Watch the Throne 2.
On his verse, Jay raps:
This might be the return of the throne
Throne Hova and Yeezus
Like Moses and Jesus
You’re not in control of my thesis
Watch the Throne dropped in 2011, marking the pinnacle of the two rappers' long history of collaboration in the rap and production realms. According to Young Guru, Jay’s verse was recorded only hours earlier:
JAY-Z and Kanye last appeared together on Drake’s 2016 song “Pop Style,” which Jay’s lines were eventually removed from.
