The first track has leaked from the highly anticipated Blueprint 3; initial rumors suggested the album would be entirely produced by Timbaland - though Jay cleared this up and said he would be working mostly with ‘Ye - not surprising considering the amount of time the two have been spending together lately.
The track is entitled “Jockin’ Jay-Z” (something we’re seeing more and more of lately…) and was demoed by Kanye at one of his gigs; however, we now have the full track, so listen below and enjoy!

Last night was Jay-Z’s Manchester show (part of his UK ROCnation tour) and we, living in Manchester, decided to attend. We’re so glad we did. Not only did Mark Ronson bring Rhymefest (who totally killed his set), Hov brought out non other than Kanye West.
It was only 8 months ago when Kanye brought out Jay - also in Manchester - so they either really like Manchester, or ‘Ye just decided to return the favor. Either way, it was amazing. Check the video out above.

The long awaited ‘Rocawear Premium Line’, aka, ‘Jay’s Looks’ - the clothing in which Jay-Z has been wearing around on his tours lately - has finally been revealed, and we have all of the pics right here for your viewing pleasure. There is still no official release date or price list for these threads, but at least we know they’re in production now.
We’re not quite sure what we think of this piece. It looks a little too shiney for our liking. It also looks like crap when it’s reversed, but, let’s move on…
These jeans are pretty fly; depending on price (this is the premium line, after all) these could become a must cop.
Now, our little team has mixed emotions on these things… I, on one hand, think they are ugly. However, some of the team really like these. Next…
Pretty average jacket here. Move along…
Pretty average leather jacket, again… Our overall judgment on this depends on the price…
And that, my friends, is the premium collection. Overall, we’re not that impressed, though if the price is right, there are a few nice pieces up there.

Glastonbury headliner Jay-Z took the stage last night and performed in front of over 100,000 people - and he opend up with a sly shot to Noel Gallagher, who stated that it was a disgrace that Hip-Hop was being played at Glastonbury. The entire set by Jay was amazing, with his live band mixing in classic rock riffs in to his already hard hitting beats.
So far this is all that has been uploaded from Hov’s performance, but it’s likely more will be uploaded throughout the day.

This is a fresh interview with Hov which aired last night in the UK. The hip-hop juggernaut was interviewed by celebrity host Jonathon Ross on his show, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. Jay speaks on his controversial position as the headliner of Glastonbury, married life with Beyonce, and a bunch of other stuff. It’s worth a watch! Part two is below.

Now I’ll be honest with you all - I’ve never heard of Bobby Fresh in my life, so I am presuming they are very new on the scene; as an urban writer, I know every urban brand there is. Bobby Fresh? Never heard of these guys, but this shirt has totally excited me.
My person favorite artist at the moment is non other than god MC J-hova. Jay-z. Jigga. Call him what you want to call him; he is the best in the game at the moment, hands down. Lil Wayne? Oh, please. He doesn’t have shit on Jay.
Enough babble - let’s check out the shirt! As I mentioned, I got totally excited over this. A new brand. “Urgh!” I thought - most urban brands come out with a bunch of crap first time round. Not these guys, though. I am totally impressed! The shirt is high quality and has quite possibly the best design relating to Jay on the front I’ve ever seen - without a doubt, I’ll be grabbing one of these myself. The shirt features the classic Jay line “Mo money, mo checks; I’m addicted to… Fresh!” from the track “Money Cash Hoes” with DMX. Dope. Really, really dope.
To get a better look at the shirt, and see a few other Bobby Fresh t-shirts, check out the links below. It really is a great design, and a fantastic price. Certainly worth a look.

It’s almost shocking to see an urban clothing company on so much of a grind; Algierz just keep coming with totally heavy and dope designs every damn season. This T-Shirt is no exception, which is why as soon as I saw it I had to get down here and blog about this beast.
Well, the theme of this tee is based on nothing other than perhaps one of the most highly rated rap tracks in the history of mankind; Dead Presidents. You remember that, right? Let me refresh your memory… “You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song!†exclaimed Jigga.
The shirt features the classic yet super fly and awesome caricature look that Algierz is known for and of course features the greatest line in hip-hop history as recited by NaS – “Dead Presidents Represent Me†– wow.
This is a truly awesome shirt, and I’m so excited about it. It’s so fly. It’s so dope. I’m going to order one of these as soon as I finish writing this post. So, let’s end it before they run out of stock! See below for the link to the store, and for more information/pictures.

I’m excited. This is my first post about the legendary Rocawear clothing line. Rocawear is everywhere. Rocawear is available in the UK, the US, hell, even Japan. Jay-Z has really done a great job with his clothing line; he recently sold it for around 300 million dollars. He’s still part of the company, but wow.
Anyway, let’s get in to the review. Today we have the Rocawear Floral Skull jean.
First of all, they feel amazing. The denim is thick and very, very high quality. This is the kind of quality we’ve began to know from Jay’s clothing line. These are really classy jeans, ideal for a night out. These jeans feature a pretty nice button fly closure, five pockets, and belt loops. What really makes these jeans stand out however are the two floral emblems on both sides of the butt. The hanging extra loop just makes it look even sexier. To finish things off, the jeans even feature a suede floral print on one of the back flaps, while the other has a small black scarf draped over it. Very hot.
These jeans are actually quite expensive, but boy, are they worth that price tag. You need to see them to believe how hot they look. See below for more details and where to buy. You may also find a pair for a little cheaper on eBay if you look hard enough.
