"Living So Italian" is a scrapped song by Kanye West and Jay-Z, intended to release on their 2011 collaborative album, Watch The Throne.

This track was intended for Watch The Throne. It samples "Por Ti Volare" by Andrea Bocelli. However, the sample was unable to be cleared, leading to the track not releasing. The instrumental was released in August 2018 by the producer, Karlyle.[1] In 2019, part of a low quality recording from a WTT listening party would surface online. In November 2023, the second verse sang by Ye, of which only a two second snippet existed before, would leak as well.

The beat was ultimately given to Lil B and released as his song "New York Subway". Jay-Z's verse would be repurposed and rerecorded for his song "FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt" on his 2013 album Magna Carta... Holy Grail.[2]
