It's not everyday you get to wake up to a new record from Jay-Z. Especially one that features production from Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. Today is not everyday though as Shawn Carter opens up about Cuba, ownership of the Brooklyn Nets, and more on this new record titled 'Open Letter'. Recorded last night as well.
Pretty simple beat but that's all that was needed for Jay to get his point across. Standout lines for me: "Would've brought the nets to Brooklyn for free. Except I made millions off you fucking dweeb. I still own the building. I'm still keeping my seats. Y'all buy that bullshit y'all better keep y'all receipts. Obama said "chill you gon' get me impeached. You don't need this shit anyway. Chill with me on the beach". There goes all the rumors about him abandoning the Nets.
2012 was a very quiet year for Jay-Z music wise with only an occasional feature here and there. If this record indicates anything, it's that 2013 will be quite the opposite musically compared to last year. New solo album coming later this year.
Listen to 'Open Letter' below.
