Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 May Have Found A Home
News of Jay-Z's "Blueprint 3" has been haunting the internet for over a year. Details about the album have been leaking from inside sources, leaving fans scrambling to piece together every bit of news related to the upcoming release of what could or could not be the next hip-hop classic.
lthough details about "Blueprint 3" have been sketchy, one thing is for sure: the album won't be coming out on Def Jam (or even Roc-A-Fella). When Jay-Z announced the news of a new "Blueprint" during a Kanye West concert at Madison Square Garden, he was still signed to Def Jam. At the time, Kanye West was confirmed as one of the producers for the project. But a few weeks ago, Rapradar.com spoke exclusively to Jay-Z about his situation, confirming that he and Def Jam had officially parted ways. This week, rumors of Jay signing to Atlantic Records have started to surface.
So where is Jay-Z's new album being released? Well, there is still no confirmation. But he can choose to really CEO the game and release it independently (probably not going to happen), or he can reunite with former Def Jam heads, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles at Warner Music Group, which seems more likely. Earlier this week, a rep from Atlantic records twittered news of Jay-Z releasing his Blueprint 3 on September 11 to radio personality, MissInfo. But after word got out and BET.com reported the news, reps from Atlantic contacted BET.com asking to take the story down. Apparently, the news of Jay-Z's new deal may be a touchy secret squirrel subject. Hmmm. Check back with BET.com for more on this developing story.
