Hot Shot: Frank Ocean In Studio With Jay-Z

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.

    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

    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!!!!!

  17. Slaydele Slay$ha & Amy Slayhouse July 18, 2011

    @Misty Jean
    Same here. This man is a no.

  18. NUNYA July 18, 2011

    Now I see why he was going after Chris, his affiliation with jayz. WOW
    Any, I’m not impressed at all.

  19. nice_gurl July 18, 2011

    Frank Ocean is a fantastic songwriter. The autotune can get annoying, but he probably will be the next big thing.

  20. YeaBey Slay Em With The Facts! July 18, 2011

    @QUEENBEY I SAW IT….HE SAYS HE GUARANTEES ITS NOT HIM…

  21. ur in a field full of bees so dont act surprise wen ur ass get stung (queenbey) July 18, 2011

    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

  31. UGh July 18, 2011

    that Novacane song is not the business. wack as f***

  32. NE-YO*STAN July 19, 2011

    “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.
