Jay-Z starts work on new album

The '99 problems' rapper Jay-Z only released his 'Watch the Throne' album with Kanye West last month, but producer No I.D. has said he has already started work on his next studio album.

He said: "Jay has started again. He played me a couple of things. I gave him some music while we were at the 'Watch the Throne' sessions. But with Jay, you never know what he's really doing, thinking, planning until it's really done. I'm sure he'll make a decision one day to make an album very quickly, like he usually does.
