GOSSIP: Jay-Z Working on New Solo Album

Jay-Z has revealed that he has started working on a new solo album, despite the impending release of collaborative album with Kanye West. The rapper says that working in the studio with Yeezy inspired him to begin working on his own material. 

According to MTV News, Jay has already completed two tracks for what will be his 12th studio album. "I know exactly the tone and the whole feel of the album. I think when you experience creativity, you should get it out as much as possible," he explains.

The 41 year-old also revealed that he has been working with Odd Future R&B singer Frank Ocean on some tracks, although no other features have been announced. The new album will be Jay's first solo album since the release of 'Blueprint 3' in 2009.

Jay is currently gearing up for the release of 'Watch The Throne,' his joint album with Kanye West. While no official release date for the collaborative album has been announced, fans who have been pre-ordering the LP have been given August 2nd as the release date.
