Jay-Z & KanYe West - Watch The Throne (Release Date & Tour)

WOW! Just days after being blessed with Otis, Def Jam have given us an official release date for this highly anticipated collaborative album from Jay-Z & KanYe West. That release date is August 8th - yes, just 2 weeks, 14 days away. Below is the official press release - what an unbelievably quick turnaround this has been:

"On Monday, July 25th, everyone can get the lead track, “Otis” instantly when they pre-order the DELUXE album exclusively at iTunes at http://idj.to/watchthethronedlxit. The album will be available at additional physical and digital retailers on August 12th.

Beginning Thursday, July 28th, fans that visit www.LiveNation.com/WatchTheThrone, will have access to presale tickets, which includes a digital copy of the album. Citi® card members will have access to presale tickets beginning Friday, July 29th at 10AM local time through Citi’s Private Pass® Program. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com. Citi® is the official credit card of the WATCH THE THRONE TOUR."
