Jay-Z Making New Album

While the Jiggaman himself hasnt officially announced that he will make another album, he certainly hasnt ruled it out either. When asked a couple weeks ago about another album he said I believe the industry as a whole needs certain events to happen to sustain it and keep it alive," Jay-Z said. "You need (Dr.) Dre albums, you need Eminem albums you need 50 (Cent) albums, you need big artists, you need major events that happen. So when I look at it in those terms, I believe that an album is needed.

If that isnt enough, there have been three producers whove outright claimed to be working on the album, two of which are long time and frequent collaborators. A couple weeks ago it was Pharrell telling Billboard he was working on a new album for Jay. Also a couple weeks ago Scott Storch told Rolling Stone he is doing some production for the come back album.

Now, it is long time collaborator Timbaland telling BBC that hell be getting in the studio with the Marcy Projects legend. Much like Pharrell, he wouldnt divulge any details, but he nevertheless confirmed hed be working on it in the near future. I think its safe to say he cant leave rap alone, the game needs him.
