The date of release for Kanye West and Jay-Z’s collaborative LP, Watch The Throne is reportedly set for just three days time.

Hip hop news website, Thesource.com reported earlier this month that the highly anticipated record would be out July 4.

Although the date is over a month later than was at first tweeted by Kanye West on January 23, an initial digital release could be in order after US rapper and West’s G.O.O.D Music client, CyHi The Prynce said in an interview with MTV program, Rap Fix Live the LP is “ready to go.”

"…Right now, all the music and everything is done. But you know my guy — we over here with [Kanye], so 'Ye is gonna add his last little pizzazz, and it's going to be ready for you guys soon."

He can just put it out tomorrow if he wanted to, and that's what 'Ye want to do."

Although West and Jay-Z have collaborated on each other's singles in the past, Watch The Throne is the first time the pair have worked on a full-length together. Originally planned as an EP, West and Jay-Z teamed up in 2010 to record five tracks in France and New York; the left-over material sparked West's announcement on MTV in October last year when he said the effort would be released as a full-length.
