Kanye West and Jay-Z are courting controversy with a provocative new video for their Watch The Thron album track No Church In the Wild, featuring harrowing riot scenes.

Director Romain Gavras' promo features dramatic footage of unrest between an angry mob and police.

In the tough-to-watch ultra-violent video, cops are set on fire and rioters are beaten by police on horseback.

Gavras has a reputation for provocative videos - he was the man behind the camera for M.I.A.'s Born Free.
