Well, if you were one of those many unfortunate people like myself who can’t attend Jay-Z’sMade In America Festival your in luck. Hov has teamed up with Hollywood producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer to produce the documentary style film. The file will show every aspect of the festival through the eyes of Jay-Z.
"The festival showcases 20 pre-eminent artists that speak to the new generation,” Basker tells the NY Post. “I am producing the film with Steve Stoute and Jay. Ron is directing. It is going to be born through Jay-Z’s perspective . . . how he puts the event together.” He added, “Jay stayed the king for a very long time . . . I can’t even begin to explain how he is capable of remaining relevant. He is a phenom, like a musical Michael Jordan".
I really can’t wait for this! Seeing Jay-Z myself live 3 times he puts on a great show. Plus the festival will feature performance sets from Drake, Odd Future, MayBach Music Group, and Run DMC to name a few.
Big congrats to newcomer Elle Varner for her debut album Perfectly Imperfect securing the number 4 spot on Billboards 200. Varner’s album was originally only expected to sale low, but she exceeded those expectations with over 31k. Also, Rick Ross’s album God Forgives, I Don’t sold 60k this week bringing its total to 279k.
Rick Ross earns the cover of the Fall Music Preview issue of Rolling Stone as seen above. And in the interview excerpt, he touches on becoming a corrections officer for the first time.
