Jay-Z is on album number eleven with Blueprint 3. In his own words “making music for the sake of making great music” and “bringing the trilogy full circle”. What is the video about? Well… simply, “Jay-Z fans get it”. US Hip Hop fans were able to grab this one today but UK fans will have to hold tight until 14th September 2009. In the meantime you can stream the full album from Rhapsody (providing you can fool the internetz into thinking you’re in the US!).
Spotted over at Jeff’s Crib, “My Favs Volume 1″ is a brand new mix coming from DJ Jazzy Jeff. The mix features some of his favourite hip hop songs with many coming from the kings of BK (Nas, Biggie and Jay-Z).
More good news, Jeff tweeted that there might be a monthly podcast on the way! Tracklist and download after the link.
In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.
