Jay Z to Detail Relationship With Beyonce in New Book
Jul 29, 2009 | Posted by bryan | 0 Comments
US rapper Jay Z will reveal details about his marriage to singer Beyonce Knowles in a new book, expected to be published later this year.
The release of the autobiography is anticipated to coincide with the launch of the 99 Problems hip hop star’s new album, The Blueprint 3, due out in September.
Previous plans for a book are thought to have been abandoned with Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – saying that it would be too personal.
However, a source has claimed that an autobiography will emerge detailing the rapper’s rise from the streets of Brooklyn as a drug dealer to his secret marriage to singer Beyonce in April 2008.
The pair, who featured together on Beyonce’s smash hit Crazy in Love, are well known for keeping their relationship out of the glare of the media spotlight.
A number of collaborations are to be included on the hip hop megastar’s new record, including tracks with psychedelic indie songsmiths MGMT, Umbrella singer Rihanna and fellow rappers Kanye West and Kid Cudi.
The new record is being released eight years to the day Jay Z’s original Blueprint album emerged in 2001.
