Jay-Z vs. David Banner?
That’s probably how UMG will frame the next SoundScan “battle.”
According to Eskay and the New York Times, Jay-Z has a new album, American Gangster, coming out on November 6. Obviously, he’s had this planned for a minute but waited until after Kanye v. 50 to announce it. More than likely the album will be cross-promoted with the similarly titled movie, which drops on 11/2/07.
Also, I smell a Roc-A-Fella comeback coup. How else can you explain this lineup:
- November 6th: American Gangster (Jay-Z)
- November 20th: The Solution (Beanie Sigel)
- November 27th: Free At Last (Freeway)
Lil Wayne, who’s also eyeing a 4th Quarter release date for Tha Carter III, was unavailable for comment. Here’s Weezy’s expression after hearing the news.
