Jay-Z's Twitter Q&A Leads to Release of Rare Track
During Monday's random, epic Twitter Q&A, Jay-Z responded to one fan's request for a finished version of the rare track "Dead Presidents 3" with "Just [Blaze] or [Young] Guru has it I give them Twitter permission to GO."
When Hov says go, you go, as longtime producer/engineer (and Crate Diggers alum!) Young Guru unearthed the track, originally leaked unfinished in 2007.
It's not clear when this was recorded, but Jay-Z buffs will notice the second verse is also used on the rapper's 2003 Black Album track "Moment of Clarity." Take a listen to the full version above.
