Jay-Z confirms new album release date

"I am happy to be officially back," says rapper

Jay-Z has confirmed details of his new album 'Kingdom Come'.

The record will be released on on November 20, followed by single 'Show Me What You Got' on December 3.

'Kingdom Come' is the rapper's first album in three years and the follow up to 2003's 'The Black Album', after which Jay-Z claimed to have "retired".

In a statement, the rapper explained: "I thought I was retired but my passion for music had other plans for me. I am overwhelmed with the initial record breaking response. I am happy to be officially back... I can't wait til ya'll hear the album."

A tracklisting for 'Kingdom Come' has yet to be announced. It is rumoured to feature Coldplay's Chris Martin and Kanye West.

Meanwhile the video for 'Show Me What You Got' - which briefly leaked online causing it to gain airplay early - was shot in Monaco by F Gary Gary and features race car drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr and Danica Patrick[/b].

Jay-Z is now shooting commercials for the 'Let The Truth Be Told' campaign, where in eight different 30 second clips he will discuss his 'truths', including competition, talent and legacy.

The greatest asset they all have is themselves. And yet does anybody promote that to them? Does anybody tell them that they are the greatest asset they have? Or are they steered to idol worship? Are they moved, are they motivated, are they inspired to look at the president or any politician as their only salvation? If they are, it's just a shame.

He should have left at the top. Nobody can possibly live up to this amount of hype, so no matter how good the album is, it'll probably be a disappointment to most people. What's he got left to talk about anyway? The guy is pushing 40. And wtf who cares about fucking Foxy Brown? I'd rather Nas' album saw the light of day than that dumb wench's.
