We already know Jay-Z and Coldplay dig each other’s music, as evidenced by collaboration for “Lost +” on the band’s upcoming Prospekt’s March EP and “Beach Chair” from Jay’s Kingdom Come.

But what would it sound like if international-superstar pals Jay and Chris Martin made more than a two-off? That’s what mixtape veterans Mick Boogie and Terry Urban wondered, so they pulled a Danger Mouse and recently locked themselves in the lab for two weeks to cook up Viva la Hova, a 19-track mash-up that lays Jay’s unique flow over the atmospheric arena rock of England’s finest.

And the best part…both Jay-Z and Coldplay love it and have giving the mashup artists their blessing upon it’s release.  So check it out at the link below, or find more download links at the official Viva La Hova page.
