According to West, the EP will now be completed as a full-length album.

Touching on his project with Big Brother Jay-Z, called Watch the Throne, West stated that the release will be a full album, not an EP, as was initially reported. “We had done five [songs] so far, and then a few of ’em, kind of, were out there, and I put them on my album. Sorry Jay,” he said, laughing. “But we got some more, and we going to the south of France at the end of this month just to record new ideas.” (XXL Mag)

Earlier this month, veteran producer Pete Rock confirmed his participation on the project.

“That came as a surprise to me because Jay-Z and I had never worked together,” Rock said in an interview. “I used to go to Jay-Z sessions to hang out, and once he asked me to help clear a Nas sample, but other than that … When the engineer called and said, ‘Pete, I got a surprise for you,’ and I heard Jay rapping over my beat, I was like, ‘Wow!’ — It was great to hear Jay over a Pete Rock beat. Wow. He says my name on the sh*t and everything.” (Billboard)

West initially revealed Rock would be involved on the album.

“We got new Pete Rock Joints on the Watch the Throne album…Q Tip joints… We bout to spit on this Madlib beat,” West tweeted September 25.
