October 16th, 2007Juiced up by: M-Cubed
A selected album dropping within the month that the FreshJamz team thinks should be part of your hip hop archive. We provide a background and our top singles off the album.
Album: American Gangster
Artist: Jay-Z
Release Date: Nov. 6. 2007
Yes Ya’llin Jigga Man Be Ballin’! Jay-Z a.k.a H.O.V.A. a.k.a. Jigga Man a.k.a. Shawn Carter is BACK! After flirting with retirement and coming back a number of times over the past few years, you knew it was only a matter of time before he would drop another studio album. However, unlike most albums, this album is based entirely on the motion picture “American Gangster” starring Denzel Washington. Jigga says that each song represents a specific scene in the movie. He also brought on some of the best in the game to help produce this album. Some names include Diddy, Pharrell, Timbaland and Lil Wayne. With a unique and risky concept to his 10th studio album, will he still be considered the “best rapper alive” after this one?
