Without further ado, we give you our second mixtape: Prelude to The Blueprint 3, a careful collection of the god emcee's most definitive leaked tracks and guest features from the past year. In anticipation of the biggest rap album of 2009, Prelude was designed to whet appetites while shedding some light on Jigga's state of mind. It sounds like Jay's been sounding: clear, confident, seasoned and a little political - all with swag on levels heretofore unheard of. Its compositions feature a handful of bracing and aggressive samples, hinting forays into alternative genres like jazz, synth rock and world music.
Guest features include: Kanye West, M.I.A., Nas, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Coldplay and more.
The Blueprint 3 will be released on September 11, until then, we hope you enjoy Prelude. Tracklist and download after the jump.
