Listening Session w/Jay-Z, Next Single: Roc Boys

Jay-Z - American Gangster

Eskay describes an American Gangster listening session with Jay-Z providing a "track by track breakdown of everything I was about to hear".  Sounds like a trip to say the least.

Some highlights:
The album plays out like a film. Every track represents a a different period in the progression of the hustler. The next single, "Roc Boys," which should be leaking any day now, is the celebratory "your name on the blimp" period.

This sh*t is actually more soulful than The Blueprint. Word to Marvin.

He damn sure does have the movie on continuous loop on a TV in the studio.

The "Blue Magic" video is shot, edited and ready to go. Jay said he’s not ready to let it go yet.

He said he wants to shoot a movie to accompany the album (which accompanies a movie).

Wow.  So stay tuned for Roc Boys and that Blue Magic video followed by the album itself in about a month.
