According to http://uheardthatnew.blogspot.com/, Jay-Z’s upcoming album The Blueprint 3 will be due out December 2nd, 2008. From what we know a December release is very likely, but at the very least we’ll see this album in early 2009.
This final installment in the Blueprint series will be the official follow-up to 2002’s The Blueprint²: The Gift & The Curse. Jay-Z’s last release was the American Gangster concept album released in 2007 around the release of the film of the same name.
Check out some anticipated tracks and tour dates after the jump.
