Following a series of photos featuring R&B newcomer, Frank Ocean, in the studio with certified hitmakers like Beyonce and Pharrell, this candid with hip hop legend Jay-Z seems a welcomed addition to the collection. The shot is from a session for Jay-Z’s forthcoming solo album, which will feature a track with the singer/songwriter. Ocean, whose single, ‘Novacane’, is currently No. 19 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart, will also appear on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s upcoming ‘Watch The Thrown’ LP, due out August 2.

this is my first time seeing this frank ocean dude…
I love that shot… Frank is about to come up…. I’m already vibin to his music on the airwaves.
I am just estatic that Jay’s finally finished w his studio time & gotten a haircut! Cause he’s in the background looking a little too “Wolfman”-ish
frank ocean is the truth
#19? Why havent I heard it yet? My radio station is always late on music. I keep hearing about this guy, I’ll have to check him out.
Side Note:H.A.M needs to be returned to the Watch the Throne tracking list
Yeah I miss you by king B slays! Can’t wait
Yuk….. Frank Ocean looks like a m*****, he would never be no where near as hot as Breezy… Chris Brown and Rihanna is the hottest thing out right now…
I don’t care.
Who? If hes so new then how is he hitting the studio with Beyonce, Jay Z, and Pharrell?
@YEAHYEAH
How can you tell when hes not even showing his full face?
YESS FRANK OCEAN…I MISS YOU, NOVACANE AND STRAWBERRY SWING ARE MY JAMS…FUNNY HOW I JUST LISTENED TO STRAWBERRY SWING AND THEN THIS POST POPPED UP!
I wonder if he did a demo for “I Miss You” for Beyonce? BEYONCE SLAYED IT….but i just want to hear him sing it to know how much justice beyonce did it….
That table where Jay-Z is sitting…aint that where Beyonce was bumping extremely to “COUNTDOWN” on the YEAR of 4?? LMAO
Im glad Jay Z surrounds himself with talent always. Frank Ocean is about to make him aLOT richer.
@YeahYeah
1 What do YOU look like ? 2 I agree with only Half you comment yes both Rihanna and Chris Brown are hot at the moment but One of them you mentioned can Call Jay Z (a legend)up to work with anytime , the other cant walk past jay z and his people with out getting spat on and MOS definiately cant hit the study with him
I listened to Frank’s mixtape this morning and deleted that s*** soon after. His voice. :@
I DONT see da hype about Frank Ocean!! He is boring and uses way to much auto tune!!!
@YEABEY- Go to da Adele post and see who made a special apperrance!! LIKE always I WAS RIGHT!!!!!
@Misty Jean
Same here. This man is a no.
Now I see why he was going after Chris, his affiliation with jayz. WOW
Any, I’m not impressed at all.
Frank Ocean is a fantastic songwriter. The autotune can get annoying, but he probably will be the next big thing.
@QUEENBEY I SAW IT….HE SAYS HE GUARANTEES ITS NOT HIM…
@YEABEY- LIES!!!
Read between the lines- he is just trying to save face!!
I mean y would somebody copy his writing style??
He just didnt think ppl on tgj pay attention to things like that!
I Love You Frank Ocean!!!!! HaHa Yesssss Baby!!!!! Get Your Paper!!!
Keep Doing You Jigga !!!!!!
Can’t wait to get Frank and Jiggas Album and See Them In Concert!!!! “Smiling”
Frank did his thing on the writting of “I Miss You ” on “4” .My favorite song,Beyonce Killed It. Its nice to have something and someone new on the scene again.
Good Day!!!
That nicca is WACK! he is overrated!
Hustle Hustle Hard Baby!!!!! HaHa!!!!

I Downloaded his Mixtape last week and I LOVEEEE It. OMG he’s really talented and I love his voice. I guess he’s the next big thing in R&B/Pop.
My favorites on the mix tape are Strawberry Swing, Songs for Women, We All Try, & LoveCrimes
that Novacane song is not the business. wack as f***
“newcomer”? Dude’s been hustling for years. Just because he’s new to the spotlight, he’s a newcomer? Ah, well. He’s shining now.

LMAO!! Agreed! He is a dope songwriter but I’m not really impressed with his own material. His voice is annoying to me & I swear all his ish sounds like he recorded it when he was on a acid trip or some s***! All of it’s just so slow & depressing!
I had barely heard of his ass until he tried to get cute with CB. He may be considered ‘new’ since he is just putting himself out there but he has been trying to make it for years now & we are just hearing about him. We shall see if he becomes the ‘next big thing’ in r&b but I am doubtful. Very.
Him & Jay Z look like a camel & a gorrila in this photo!! LMAO!

YES! I can’t believe H.A.M. didn’t make the cut! I guess maybe cause it flopped on the charts. It was still a dope record though.
