Jay's Return is Approaching


In an all too Jordanesque type move full of excitement and anticipation, rapper Jay-Z will be returning at some point this year..and I dont mean from his tour of Africa to lend his voice and support to their H20 crisis.

No, Jay-Z has been "secretly" creating another album for his masses of fans, to grace us with more of his musical talents and gifts. Its been hinted at for months; first that he was working with Timbaland..then that he was doing tracks by Kanye, then Neptunes, etc etc..You had to believe that with him signing Nas on to the Def Jam record label, probably recording a collab for Nas' new album, and then helping out his girl Beyonce while she worked on her new solo cd, that Jay was itching for the comeback. It's only natural; like Jordan the game needs him again and he loves the game.

Jay-Z is what I consider a modern story of inspiration. He started with humble beginnings, unfortunately got lost in the drug game, discovered his talent for lyrics and rapping on beat, and honed his craft. He now has become a namebrand and savvy businessman, as he helms the 40/40 club, Rocawear, S. Carter Reeboks, and is president/CEO of Def Jam. And that makes his brand of rap even more alluring now, as he seems to be the "grown up man's" rapper.

In a phase where rap seems so watered down lately, its only natural that Jay-Z returns admist a water crisis.
