Jay-Z and Bono? Sure, It may sound like an unconventional duo, but Jay-Z and Bono are teaming up to make a song for Haiti.
Producer Swizz Beatz got in touch with both artists to record a charity single for Haiti and the earthquake relief effort. Swizz, who has worked with artists such as 50 Cent, Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Wayne and Ludacris, tweeted: “ME, BONO, HOVA, HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT HAITI STAY TUNNED I TOLD YOU I WAS WORKING ON SOMETHING AMAZING FOR HAITI THEY NEED US!!!!!”
U2’s guitarist, The Edge, confirmed the project saying, “Last night we wrote a song. Bono got a call from a producer, Swizz. He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So, Bono came up with the phrase on the phone, and last night we were here, we wrote a song – finished, recorded and sent it back to them.”
I can’t imagine what the song is going to sound like but with two successful artists like Jay-Z and Bono and collaboration from Swizz, how could it not be a hit?
Haiti needs all the help it can get, so hopefully these boys can pump out something legendary.
