In a must-read Reuters interview, Jay-Z has revealed key new details on the hotly anticipated third installment of his Blueprint trilogy. As previously reported, Kanye West will produce most of the album and brought in his latest favorite collaborators Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson and Drake for guest appearances.

This 'Blueprint,' I liken it to a new classic, simply because we -- Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, myself -- are becoming the people that we looked up to musically growing up, like Marvin Gaye and Frank Sinatra."
Be sure to read the whole thing. It's worth it.
