Jay-Z’s highly anticipated album The Blueprint 3 is scheduled to come out this September. With tracks produced by the likes of Kanye West, No I.D., & Timbaland, it has a lot of potential. September is going to be a busy month with Wale dropping his debut album, Mayer Hawthorne dropping his debut album and now Hov putting down BP3.

I have to say, I’m a fan of the cover. Definitely picking it up when it drops. The Red is nice but the white instruments remind me of The Secret Machine album Now Here is Nowhere:

Here’s a taste of the album…
