Sweet jesus…thank you for this glorious early Christmas Present. Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek) have dropped a new single called “Just Begun” which features Jay Electronica, J Cole and Mos Def. Tracks like this are the whole reason I can’t deny how powerful and amazing a good hip-hop track can be. I’ve been talking about Jay Electronica quite a bit here so even if he wasn’t on the track it would still be hot but with the addition of him it just takes it to a whole new level. The beat is sick. Looks like they are getting ready for their album to drop in early 2010 which will be entitled Revolutions Per Minute. Check out track below and please leave a comment and tell us what you think.

I’m on another level / Me and Kweli come together like two pieces of metal / We magnetizing the ghetto

So with Jay-Z about to drop his what.. 11th album now, there’s been a lot of hype and concerns about how Blueprint 3 will turn out. With all the recent BP3 track leaks there’s been tons of mixed feelings and reviews.. from my perspective, with everything thats been in circulation so far, theres yet to be that “instant classic”, which has pretty much been the trend with almost every Hov album. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of the leaks all have been beyond dope, but at the same time theres been a few that have been “lack luster”.. either way, excited for the final product.

Here is 4 of the newest leaks from the album, all 4 of the tracks were produced by Kanye West. Blueprint 3 drops September 11th, the album features tons of artists.. Drake, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, J. Cole, Pharrell, among more. Also included a Rhapsody ad they just did recently, which takes a look at all of Jay’s past album covers. Check out the all the tracks, album cover, track listing and video after the jump..
