JAY-Z AND KANYE WEST BY RICCARDO TISCI
The Editors | January 11, 2011
Today, 1.11.11, marks the digital release of Kanye West’s new single with Jay-Z, “H.A.M.”. The first cut (or slab?) off of the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album, Watch the Throne, is available for stream on the record’s official Facebook page, where you can listen in exchange for a “Like”. Note the single’s nu-baroque kerchief-inspired cover art, rife with slavering Rottweilers, crowns, spangles, and fangs—courtesy of creative director Riccardo Tisci. With Givenchy’s top general at the creative controls, we can only imagine what the album cover is gonna bring.
