Jay-Z To Personally Deliver "Blueprint" To London's Atlantic Records

[Walter Cronkite]

Hip-hop superstar Jay-Z isn't about to let his upcoming album, "The Blueprint Three," leak to listeners early. In fact, the emcee is so protective of his work that he will be hand-delivering the album to the head of Atlantic Records in London. An insider tells London's "The Daily Star," quote, "Jay is looking forward to showing off the fruits of his studio time and decided the best thing to do was take the album himself to London." The source adds, quote, "Jay is very protective and smart and doesn't want fans to hear tracks which aren't quite right. He wants to give the record to the label in the UK and see which songs go down best to give him ideas about single releases."

In 2006, Jay-Z's release "Kingdom Come" was leaked on the social networking site MySpace. In response to the leak, Universal Music Group slapped MySpace with a copyright-infringement lawsuit. Jay-Z's "The Blueprint Three" arrives in stores on September 11th.
