Catch the Throne is a two-volume mixtape. The first volume was released digitally on March 7, 2014, and on CD on March 28, 2014, as a free mix tape that features various rap artists to help promote the HBO series Game of Thrones.[1][2] The albums feature hip hop artists including Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, Common, Wale, Daddy Yankee, as well as music by Ramin Djawadi from the show and some voices from the show.
The album received mostly mixed reviews from critics and fans alike.[citation needed]
