Digital Booklet
Billboard 200 - #1, 2011 Grammy nomination - Best Rap Album, 2011 "Four Stars ... West is on an artistic high ... you get the feeling Jay-Z, nothing if not canny, is prepared to align himself with another loose cannon in exchange for some of West's inspiration." - The Guardian "What could have been a crash-and-burn anticlimax turned out to be as fun as any record in a dog's age. From the cinematic No Church In The Wild to the Stax-soul update Otis, testifies to Kanye West's talent for beats both iconoclastic and pop-savvy." - Rolling Stone Two heavyweights from the world of hip-hop joined forces and struck gold on their first full album collaboration: Watch The Throne from Jay-Z and Kanye West debuted at number one in the US, garnered seven Grammy nominations and yielded seven singles. The bold and adventurous songs explore political and social issues and the perils of fame, featuring production by West, 88 Keys, RZA, Swizz Beatz and others, with guest appearances from Beyoncé and Frank Ocean.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
