You can get a taste of Keys N' Crates with the Live Re-Mixes Promo they put together and sent our way to debut...Check for their interview up soon, and they will be headlining an RH show in Chicago this summer...

Jay-Z Sets 9/11 Release Date For Blueprint 3
The first installment of The Blueprint dropped on September 11, 2001, and Jay-Z will release the trifecta edition exactly 8 years later. The album's production was done pretty much exclusively by Kanye West and No I.D., and has been worked on for a minute. Yeezy told MTV, "He's just been working on it, and it's gonna be amazing when he drops it. I think it's good he's taking his time to give people the best product possible and not be rushed by this fast-food, media outlet, Internet, everything-is-getting-leaked, people-stealing-your-songs-before-you-can-mix-them-and-put-them-online world that we're living in right now."
I'm looking forward to the release, and really looking forward to seeing Jay live on July 7th w/Ciara...hope you got tickets...suckers....
