Jay-Z has reportedly bought out his contract with Island Def Jam which is, of course, under Universal Music Group. He shelled out $5 million to become a free agent.
He has been postponing the release of his highly anticipated album, Blueprint 3, and it is now clear he will release this under his new label, Roc Nation. This label will feed printed money to Live Nation as Live Nation signed up Jay-Z in a $150 million multi-year deal that also gives them revenue from ticket sales and other ancillary sales items.
Now you may recall I was at the Kanye West Glow In The Dark Tour when Yeezy gave us a sneak peek of "Jockin' Jay-Z" which takes an Oasis riff and makes it into a dope beat. Even better was that Jigga man himself came out and spit a few verses, much to my delight.
This record may not be on the album anymore because it has had its time, as well as "Ain't I" produced by Timbaland or "Swagga Like Us" - this past fall's runaway hitfeaturing M.I.A. and the recently incarcerated T.I..
Kanye West recently spoke with MTV News and told them the new album will not have any auto-tune, which has been used, abused, and overused since T-Pain came on the scene. Kanye also will be the sole producer on the album. I wonder if it will beat Eminem's most recent release, "Relapse", which sold 610,000 copies in a week! It's like it's 1999 again! (Prince, where are you?)
