This, Jay-Zs second post-retirement album, is hip-hop to the bone: a record steeped in the sounds, iconography and soul of the New York underworld, with the lions share of production handled by P Diddys in-house team The Hitmen and guest spots from Beanie Sigel ('Ignorant Shit'), Lil Wayne (the crunk-like, Beastie Boys-sampling 'Hello Brooklyn') and long-time rival Nas.

Features the hit single 'Blue Magic.' .ukĬonceived as an unofficial soundtrack to the Ridley Scott movie of the same name, American Gangster sees us getting reacquainted with a quite different Jay-Z to the mainstream-courting comeback kid that hooked up with Beyonce and Coldplays Chris Martin on 2006s Kingdom Come. While not glorifying the Frank Lucas story, Jay-Z articulates the lure of Gangster's life and stands as an example of one who chose to leave those streets behind to go on and become one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time. Jay-Z draws upon past experiences, speaking to harsh reality of the drug trade still taking place in our nation's cities. The conceptual, full body of genius work from the new album balances the line between pure entertainment and real life. Separate from the official motion picture soundtrack, this collection of all-new original material is a musical journey and lyrical interpretation of snapshots from the upcoming motion picture American Gangster.
