Jay-Z Reunites with Kanye West in First Music Collaboration Since 2012
Rapper Kanye West reunited with his long-time friend, business partner, former boss and idol, Jay-Z on his new album – the first time since 2012 the pair would be doing any song together.
Kanye West hosted a launch party for Donda – an album named after his late mother – at the sold-out Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, the city where he was born, and revealed Jay-Z features on his latest album as the superstar rapper finally unveiled his new music.
The last time they had collaboration was in 2012 in the song ‘clique’ before Kanye’s marriage to Kim Kardashian in 2013 that Jay-z and wife Beyonce conspicuously missed and his subsequent fall out with Jay z.
But now Kanye has begun divorce proceedings with estranged wife Kim, and it seems both men are now back together.
Kanye entered the stage area of the filled stadium and the album began playing.

The final song featured the surprise inclusion of 51-year-old Jay-Z, whose verse included a reference to his relationship with Kanye as a ”Moses and Jesus relationship. Reports say Jay-z recorded his verse just an hour before the event. Jay didn’t come for the album launch but Kanye’s estranged wife Kim came alongside their four kids and her sister Khloe.
Jay’s verse, apparently from the perspective of a man in prison, references not only his brotherly and at times contentious relationship with West.
