The man who often calls himself Jehovah has reportedly taken his God complex a step further.
Word has it that retired rapper Jay-Z, a.k.a. Young Hov, will come out of retirement to release a brand new album in November called Kingdom Come.
The Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam set, which would be the mogul?s first studio album since announcing his retirement from recording in 2003, is expected to feature production from Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Kanye West and Coldplay's Chris Martin.
In July, Pharrell Williams told news sources the Neptunes are also producing tracks for the new project. Recent MTV Video Vanguard winner Hype Williams will reportedly direct the video for the first single, which is said to be "Show Me What You Got."
Born Shawn Carter in Brooklyn, NY, Jay-Z is currently in the midst of an international tour to raise awareness about the world's water crisis, which will be chronicled in an MTV special debuting Nov. 24. The trek stops in Amsterdam tonight.

yeah, it never did seem like he actually retired anyway...which is good cause his sh!t is HOT!! But i can't stand it when people say they retire but they don't even seem like they ever intended too. Seems like a stupid publicity stunt.

I think he probably meant to retire but probably dound it harder than expected to stay away. Its like when I say that i wont drink anymore after a heavy night out but on the next night out I find it difficult not to have one
But yeah im excited about this album. Aparrently its gonna be more like the Black Album which is good, becuase its probably gonna be more creative and have greater cross over appeal.
Going to see Jay-Z this Saturday, counting down the days. Has anyone been to see him on his world tour yet
