The Blueprint 3 hasn't even dropped and already Jay-Z is hard at work on his next full-length studio album. Check out what Jay-Z reveals about the new project to MTV:

We love it. Everybody seemingly wants Jay to stay in one lane and make regurgitated Reasonable Doubt-esque classics for the rest of his born life. *yawn* Reasonable Doubt is definitely a hip-hop classic but we're all for artistic growth, moving forward, exploring and pushing the envelope. Jay-Z shouldn't be making the same records he was 10 years ago. He's changed, grown and experienced a lot since he debuted on the scene and his music reflects that. Not to mention Jay is one of the few people in the industry who is really in a position to do whatever he wants to musically. We approve.
