”Take off the blazer/Loosen up the tie/Step inside the booth/Superman is alive!”- Jay-Z
Rap superstar Jay-Z has confirmed that he is indeed out of retirement and will drop a new album entitled “Kingdome Come“ this November (tenatively Nov. 21st).
The Rapper-turned mogul broke the news to Entertainment Weekly in it’s Fall Music Issue due to hit newstands today (Sept. 15th).
”It’s more in the vein of The Black Album than The Blueprint,” he says. ”I’ve been experimenting with things, different types of music.”
In addition to Timbaland, Jay-Z has called on the production skills of Kanye West and Dr. Dre. He also hopes to reteam with Rick Rubin, who oversaw the thunderous ”99 Problems” off the triple-platinum Black Album. ”Oh, and actually, Chris Martin produced a track on there,” he adds casually. Yes, Coldplay’s Chris Martin. ”We met at a charity dinner and just really kept in touch. He sent me these beautiful chords for this song called ‘Beach Chair.’ I had Dre put some drums on it. It’s really, really incredible.”
This comes on the heels of his international tour for the UN & MTV’s Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life, which is due to be broadcast by MTV on Nov. 24.With that being said, let us welcome back the most powerful man in the music business as well as the greatest rapper to ever do it, Jay-Z! Get Ready….
