Director Spike Jonze helmed the cameras for the video which has been teased for weeks now. Patient fans can now rejoice as MTV will premeire the video Thursday (August 11) night at 8:56 p.m. ET/PT. Viewers who miss the debut won’t have to fret as the video will will air immediately on MTV Jams and MTV Hits afterwards, with an encore showing on MTV2 at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

As the first song many fans heard from WTT, “Otis” has already become a favorite with listeners and even other rappers that have swiped the instrumental for themselves and created their own freestyle renditions of the track. Spike Jonze, a video and film director who has collaborated with a bevy of stars over the course of his career, has worked alongside Kanye West before on the video for “Flashing Lights.” Fans on the Web have commented in droves about the video, with all eyes peeled to see what Jonze will bring to table for “The Throne.”
