Fresh from announcing that he is ready to deliver a five track album with Jay-Z entitled Watch The Throne, Kanye has finally come through with his promise of a new track to commence G.O.O.D Music Fridays!
Monster features Rick Ross, Bon Iver and Nicki Minaj too, but from the (appalling) file tagging it was clear to see he must have invited them to go over on the song during separate trips to his studio, I don’t think this final line-up was initially part of the plan.
Regardless of that, Monster is a decent track. Each artist gets more than enough time to shine in their own right, and the beat is tight too. Kanye must have been working overtime behind the scenes right?

edit: It seems I was right, I knew I recognised that beat! Monster last reared it’s uglier head when it appeared on the Trending Topics 4 mixtape as simply a Kanye track with a Rick Ross cameo. Ironically Ross now has the least airtime out of all five artists.
