Thanks to dodgy leaks and forthcoming Atlantic Records employees, Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 will be out on September 11, released on Mr Z’s own Roc Nation imprint and distributed by Atlantic.
The anti-climactic official announcement is rumored to take place at NYC radio station Hot 97's annual Summer Jam concert (or maybe he’ll choose another date because, y’know, rappers hate twitterers).
The Kanye West-produced record will be featuring an anti-Auto-Tune single, endearing Jay-Z to millions of purists but alienating the billions of devotees who read Tiny Mix Tapes’ star column: All That Is Solid. This, of course, officially makes Auto-Tune uncool because Jay-Z fuckin’ said so and he ain’t gonna take no shit from labels, Chris Brown, or washed-up has-beens. Just wanted to get that out there, yo!
