New Song: Jay-Z - 'Dead Presidents 3' [Full]
During an impromptu Q&A session with fans on Twitter on July 9, rapper Jay-Z gave his permission so the full and finished version of his song "Dead Presidents 3" - which had previously leaked in snippet form back in 2007 - would finally see the light of day. He instructed his audio engineer Young Guru and producer Just Blaze - via a tweet reply, see below - to release said track online immediately for the listening pleasure of his fans.

The complete version of "DP3" now features two verses, and can be heard in a pretty awesome high quality. The track was co-produced, it seems, by Young Guru and Just Blaze as Jay-Z mentions them both in his Tweet, with Young Guru being the first to comply with Jay-Z's orders, uploading the full song on his SoundCloud account. Just Blaze was a bit reluctant to do it, posting a disturbing tweet reading as follows;
To clarify: DP3 had 2 verses, one of which got used on another record (can't remember, (Blk Albm maybe). So there's only that 1 verse. Sorry

Yet, after a long argument with Hov fans on Twitter, he ended up uploading "DP3" in 'full' on SoundCloud as well. Jay-Z fans didn't care if 'the other verse' was recycled or whatever, they just wanted to hear "Dead Presidents 3" as originally created.
