Jay-Z ft. Swiss Beatz: 'On To The Next One'

Jay-Z ft. Swiss Beatz: 'On To The Next One'

UK. Release on Friday, April 16 2010 
In a recent interview, Jay-Z revealed that his aim for the third and final Blueprint album was, well, to "set the blueprint" for the next phase of his career.

However, after the dream team urban pop collaboration that was 'Run This Town', an anthemic ode to his native New York in the form of 'Empire State Of Mind', and some Mr Hudson-assisted musings on staying 'Young Forever', it's only until now that Jigga's mission for The Blueprint 3 is fully realised.


'On To The Next One' sees him up with Swizz Beatz, who pitches in on vocals as well as fulfilling knob-twiddling duties.

Over pounding beats and a looped vocal sample from Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E', Mr Beyoncé firmly reminds us why he's leader of the hip-hop pack: "N***az stuck on stupid / I gotta keep it movin' / N***az make the same sh*t / Me, I make the Blueprints."

While it may not be his most radio-friendly moment, this certainly proves that Hova has no intention whatsoever of relinquishing his King of Rap crown.

Dr. Dre to Perform with Jay-Z at Coachella?

  Dr.Dre to Perform with Jay-Z at Coachella?

Fans attending the Coachella Music & Arts Festival this weekend may be in for a surprise as word has it Jay-Z will be bringing out Dr. Dre during his set. According to the rumor mill, Jay and Dre will perform their latest collaboration 'Under Pressure' which is said to be the lead single off the super producer's long awaited 'Detox' album.

At this point any news surrounding Dre and his 'Detox' album is hard to believe until it actually happens. The 'Detox' single was to emerge last week, according to Dre himself. And, although sources close to the Compton native's label, Aftermath Records, revealed that he will indeed hit the main stage with Jiggaman on April 16, there has been no confirmation (or denial) from either party.

As previously reported, the Brooklyn MC will co-headline the three-day festival, along with Muse and Gorillaz, which takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Other big names slated to perform include... De La Soul, Wale, and B.O.B.
