Jay-Z and Kanye West music video debuts tonight

Spike Jonze-directed Otis music video is the first from the new collab album.

Just three days after their collaborative album, Watch the Throne, hit shelves, Jay-Z and Kanye West are gearing up to premiere the music video for hit single Otis, reports MTV.

The album’s first music video – which was directed by Spike Jonze – will debut tonight (August 11) at 8:56 p.m. on both MTV and BET, with an encore showing at 11 p.m. on MTV2.

Much like the hotly-anticipated album, little is known about the music video prior to its release. A few images have leaked, one featuring an American flag draped over a blue background, which matches the single’s cover art – designed by Givenchy creative director Ricardo Tisci, who also designed the cover for Watch the Throne. The second image shows the two rappers hanging out on set, in what looks like a golf cart.

The single – which samples the classic Otis Redding number Try a Little Tenderness – was released on July 20 and debuted at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking the following week at number 12.
