So with Jay-Z about to drop his what.. 11th album now, there's been a lot of hype and concerns about how Blueprint 3 will turn out. With all the recent BP3 track leaks there's been tons of mixed feelings and reviews.. from my perspective, with everything thats been in circulation so far, theres yet to be that "instant classic", which has pretty much been the trend with almost every Hov album. Don't get me wrong, the majority of the leaks all have been beyond dope, but at the same time theres been a few that have been "lack luster".. either way, excited for the final product.
Here is 4 of the newest leaks from the album, all 4 of the tracks were produced by Kanye West. Blueprint 3 drops September 11th, the album features tons of artists.. Drake, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, J. Cole, Pharrell, among more. Also included a Rhapsody ad they just did recently, which takes a look at all of Jay's past album covers. Check out the all the tracks, album cover, track listing and video after the jump..
