Album Info: Jay-z – Blueprint 3 (Cover & Rumored Tracklisting)

3 08 2009

Blueprint III Album Cover
To add to the Blueprint 3 hype, the rumored tracklisting and album cover for Jay’s forthcoming album hit the net via Jay-z.com. If the tracklisting is accurate, then it will feature appearances by Nas, Drake, KiD CuDi, Mr. Hudson, and of course the Rihanna and Kanye assisted single. A majority of the production was handled by Kanye West, but Timbaland, No I.D. (who produced the street single D.O.A.), and even MGMT pop up for addtional production. If this track listing is official, this should be a dope album. What are your thoughts on the tracks and cover?

Blueprint III in stores September 11th

Rapper Baatin (shown above on the right) of the elite underground group Slum Village has passed away yesterday, at age 35. Baatin departed from the group in 2004, but they reunited this year and planned on releasing a new album titled Villa Manifesto. Slum Village also lost their producer, Jay Dee a little over three years go, and now another member has passed. The reason for his death remains unknown.
I’m leaving you with the music video for “Tainted”, his verse was always my favorite on this track.
