Although no official release date has been set for Jay-Z's anticipated new album The Blueprint 3, producer Kanye West has stated that he expects the album to drop in February 2009.

The album will be Jay-Z's final record for Def Jam before he begins his new mega-contract with Live Nation.

Mega producer Kanye West has confirmed Jay-Z's upcoming album, The Blueprint 3, is near completion and will drop early next year.

In a teleconference, Ye explained that him and Jay almost finished the album before his own 808s and Heartbreak disc.

"I'm constantly making music," Ye said. "We almost finished with Jay album. We was almost finished before I even dropped my album."

Despite Def Jam being unwilling to offer a definite release date or rough projection for his final required project on the label, Ye wasted no timing in revealing the album's due date in addition to other projects he's been working on.

"Jay album is coming in February," he explained.

Rumor going around is that Jay Z wont drop the Blueprint 3 until late summer of 2009! Hova is taking his time with Kanye West to produce a true and new Hip Hop masterpiece soon to be a classic! L.A. Reid is out there saying that he is doing everything within his power to make the album happen regardless of the business situation between Hova and Def Jam. Lots of rumors going around on who is gonna be on the tracks--Eminem? Timbaland? Neptunes? And a new heavy hitter on the videos; Director Hugo V known as "The Quentin Tarantino of Music Videos" expected to do something new for Hova!!
