Unreleased song by Jay-Z and Kanye West
Living So Italian
"Living So Italian" is an unreleased song by the American rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West. It was recorded for their 2011 collaborative album Watch the Throne, but excluded following sample clearance problems. Produced by Karlyle, "Living So Italian" is built on a sample of Andrea Bocelli's "Por ti volaré" (1995) and features Jay-Z and West flaunting their international lifestyles, referencing stereotypes of Italians. The lyrics incorporate mafia terminology and reference famous Italian-American figures. Jay-Z played "Living So Italian" during a private listening session for reporters and music journalists in July 2011. Journalists regarded it as a potential Watch the Throne highlight, but it was not included on the album because Jay-Z and West could not clear the sample. "Living So Italian" became sought after by fans, and excerpts surfaced periodically before the full track leaked on October 7, 2026.
