WhoopseyJayZ

If a headline slot at last year's Glasto was knocking about the upper echelons of a 'How To Acheive World Domination' list from Brooklyn's finest Hip Hop artist then writing the Blueprint III was probably phase two. Blueprint I has proved the seminal album of Jay Z's career so far and with Kanye West on production duties plus a long list of distinguished guest vocals including Rihanna, Pharell, Kid Cudi and er.... Mr Hudson hopes have been high for what has billed as the final installment in the trilogy.

As is the standard for such a high profile release though, the record has leaked in its entirety a week before its September 11th US release. You can listen to it here at MTV online without the Web Sheriff getting on your back but on first listen Blueprint III seems a solid if not stellar effort. If you've missed out on the considerable fuss so far check out the first single to be taken from the album D.O.A.(Death of Auto-Tune) below.
