Jay Z has revealed the first details of his upcoming collaboration with Chris Martin, which is set to appear on his comeback album "Kingdom Come".
The hip hop superstar has worked with a series of hip hop icons including Dre Dre, Timbaland and Kanye West on the long-awaited follow-up to "The Black Album".
However, it is perhaps the track with Coldplay's singer, which has not yet been named, that has prompted the most publicity. Speaking to MTV, Hova explained how the new album came about, including Martin's role. "With this one, I didn't record with anyone. I didn't record with one producer. I went in with Timbaland, but we wound up using the stuff he sent me. With Dre...our phone conversations were the studio session. Same with Chris Martin. He sent me these wonderful chords one day, and he said he knew they were good because he almost didn't tell me about them. He was gonna keep them for himself. For one second, he said, 'I'm not sending this to him.' With Kanye, same thing, he dropped the track off."
"Kingdom Come" is due for release on November 20.
