Seems as though our boy Jay-Z is gearing up to release a new album, a follow-up to 2007’s American Gangster. And it seems as though Jay-Z has signed on Timbaland to take on the helm of the project.

Timbaland will be hitting Jay-Z off with a more “worldly,” international sound, which definitely should be an interesting task for Hova to take on.

“We wanna go to the world,” say's Timbo

“The world is ‘Big Pimpin’.’ ‘Big Pimpin’ ‘ is an international hit, so we wanna do 10 of those. Meaning, some of the songs gonna sound like M.I.A. would rap on some of the beats. You gonna be like, ‘Whoa!’ But it’s Jay on ‘em. That means it reaches everywhere. I’mma have songs with bagpipes. The music is gonna be so worldwide, he’ll be able to tour the rest of his life, maybe, off just this one album. The Jay-Z album is gonna be phenomenal. You know why? We don’t care. We’re doing great music just to do it. We doing it for our fans who love us to say we ain’t quit. I’m doing it ’cause that’s my homeboy.”
