Jay-Z’s Blueprint3 Release Moved Up

Blueprint3’s release date has been moved up to today! Originally set to release on September 11—an unconventional Friday release date and the anniversary of the original Blueprint album release—the album is now available as of today. The early release is being attributed to the album’s leak about a week ago. Though Jay-Z didn’t show his understandable resentment at the leak, he decided an early release would no doubt secure him a top spot on Billboard. Good thinking Jay-Z.

Not only are we getting BP3 a few days early, Jay-Z also announced his tour to coincide with his latest album.
