14 DAY TRIAL // Daft Punk is all about epic collaborations these days, as their partnering with Pharrell Williams is still going strong in the charts, and it's about to continue with a new song on Pharrell's new album “G I R L.”
But the French electronic duo is not done yet. An unreleased collaboration with rapper Jay Z has just made its way online in the form of a leak. The song is called “Computerized” and it's just about as awesome as you'd expect from the robot-headed musicians who have an issue with showing their faces.
The song sounds very Tron-like, blending samples from their song “Son of Flynn” with the rapping talents of Jay Z. This particular creation was never acknowledged on a formal level, but a snippet appeared on obscure message boards last year, and just yesterday what seems like a complete version was leaked on the internet.
It's also been rumored that Kanye also played a part in the production of “Computerized,” but there is no hard evidence to support this scenario. Either way, the track was completed some time ago, seeing as how the “Tron” score composed by Daft Punk came out in 2010 and Jay can be heard rapping about his Blackberry, which would indicate that it happened before he signed his deal with Samsung.
It's just sad that the song never went released because it sounds all kinds of awesome, blinding perfectly the game arcade-style music of Daft Punk with the seamless rapping skills of Jay Z.
