JIGGA HAND DELIVERS ALBUM

If there were any doubts that Jay-Z is not a smart businessman, this will change your mind.



MTV UK is reporting that Jay-Z has flown overseas to hand deliver the Blueprint 3 album himself to bosses over at his new label Atlantic Records in London because he doesn't want any of his music leaked onto the internet.



Reasonable enough since almost every new hot record manages to somehow always get leaked on the internet before it's even released!



Jigga is very protective of his work and didn't want his fans to hear music that wasn't quite right. He brought the album to the Atlantic Records offices in the UK in hopes of figuring out which songs would be released as singles.

He wasn't born a hustler, he was birthing em.



I don't know anyone that has hand delivered their albums instead of going through production.

Cute. I'm diggin that dress.

Jay-Z's Roc Nation Label has finally found a home.

The Roc Nation is a deal with Sony and also is in part with Atlantic Records.

“Sony is Roc Nation. That’s where Roc Nation’s going through,” said Jay-Z.

Jay-Z told Billboard he attempted to throw the idea of Roc Nation out to his previous label close to 4 years ago but no one was interested in his enterpenurship ways and just wanted him to release a record.

Sucks for them.

JAY-Z SIGNS TO ATLANTIC RECORDS

There's been much speculation as to where Jay-Z was going to go after he bought out his contract at Def Jam for $5 million of his own hard earned cash.

There were talks that he was heading to Sony, or taking his Roc Nation label through Live Nation to who knows where & rumors of him having secret meetings with his former colleagues Lyor Cohen & Kevin Liles who he's known for a long time when all 3 worked together at Def Jam during the years.

Well those meetings hold true because it's official.


Jay-Z has signed with Atlantic Records & his Roc Nation label will go to Sony.

Jigga's Blueprint 3, which he's been working on with Kanye West, among other producers to bring back the old Jay-Z, will be released on the label on September 11th, the anniversary of the first Blueprint album.

HELLOOOO BROOKLYNNNNNN!
