Jay-Z released a new single called D.O.A Death of Autotune and announced the release date of his new album The Blueprint 3 on September 11th. Listen to Jay-Z Death of Autotone to hear the rapper talking about how he is a rapper and not a singer.
Jay-Z will release his “Blueprint 3″ album on Sept. 11 on Roc Nation with distribution through Atlantic Records, numerous sources have confirmed. A formal announcement is expected Sunday on New York radio station Hot 97 and at the station’s massive Summer Jam concert in New Jersey at Giants Stadium.
Sam Crespo, VP of Rap Promotions at Atlantic Records who goes by the twitter name TheCrespo, first confirmed the news in a Twitter posting yesterday afternoon. The post was removed hours later. A MissInfo.tv blog posting also revealed the details but was subsequently removed.
Last week, Hits Daily Double reported that Sean “Diddy” Combs had allegedly spoken with Jay-Z and persuaded him to sign to Warner Music Group, joining former Island Def Jam colleagues Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. The site also alleged this was a one-off deal just for this recording.
Meanwhile, Billboard.com reported that Roc Nation was going over to Sony through Epic, and sources close to the negotiations are still standing by their version. “Roc Nation will still be coming to Epic. It will still be a distribution deal,” a source tells Billboard.com. [BILLBOARD]
