Kanye & Jay-Z To Release Watch The Throne In 3 Weeks? |
I know you’ve all grown weary of these type of posts, and I’ma let you finish but this might be the most legit WTT reporting of all time (repeat last three words). Warner Bros recording artist, Theophilus London, who has been in Cannes for the past few weeks, updated this interesting tidbit via his Twitter account.

| Kanye & Jay-Z To Release |
Now, if you have been paying attention Kanye and Jay have both been spending a tremendous amount of time in Cannes, so the idea of Hov’s manager being present is far fetched. According to Theophilus, the highly anticipated album is set to drop in a matter of weeks, in it’s entirety, with absolutely no promo. “On some Radiohead !!”, as he so eloquently put it.
For those of you who don’t know what that means: earlier this year, the band Radiohead randomly released a full album only 5 days after announcing it coming. Sounds like a Kanye idea if I ever seen one. We’ll be watching the calendar and the throne.
