For all those Kanye & Jay-z fans out there, here's the cover artwork to the duos new single H.A.M. (which in case you didn't know, stands for Hard As a Motherfu***r).
The hip hop masters plan to release a collaboration album Watch The Throne, and H.A.M. is the first clue as to what we can expect from the two joining forces. Huge, over-the-top production and almost operatics from Kanye, and the hard-hitting gravitas from Jay-Z. The synths sound slightly like KnightRider to me, but then in bursts the screaming, chanting & strings . . . I'm not sure how successful this will be, as it's quite explicit and could be too out-there for a mainstream market. All the same, there's plenty of fierceness & drama in there, so credit to them for trying something different.
Inspired? Groundbreaking? Or just insane? You decide.
