Beyoncé is releasing a new remix album and DVD collection on June 16 called Above and Beyoncé Video Collection and Dance Mixes – and PEOPLE.com has your first look at the cover art.
Among the tracks included on the collection is a remix of her song "Ego" featuring a guest appearance by Kanye West. "The song is fun," says Beyoncé. "It talks about someone being very confident and having this swagger when they walk and when they talk."
As for nabbing West, well, Beyoncé says the rapper – known for his outsized personality – was a good match. Recounting her conversation with West, Beyoncé says he agreed to do it, telling her, " 'Okay, so you have a song about an ego and you want me on the record?' He's like, 'I love it. I'll do it.' "
Above and Beyoncé will be available at Wal-Mart and J&R Music World stores beginning June 16.

That heffa spoiled us with the B'Day Anthology. Where is the damn Sweet Dreams video? I wanted to see that. And why two versions of the Ego video?
Maybe she will put the SD video on the tour DVD as an extra. Truth be told, I would have preferred some new songs as opposed to these dance remixes which I know for sure will not be bumping in my car. I mean, she recorded around 100 songs... there are plenty of leftover tracks. But I guess since this is not a re-release...
