In what is likely the least emergent post you'll find on EMERGE, we were very excited to discover that Jay Z is going back on his promise to go into retirement never to return.
That's right, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the man widely believed to be the best rapper in the game has a comeback album slated for release this Fall.
EW is reporting that Kingdom Come will feature an A-list of collaborators including hitmaking beatsmiths Kanye West, The Neptunes, Timbaland and Dr. Dre as well as some unexpected folks as well (Coldplay's Chris Martin!?).
In keeping with with Jay's classicist sensibility, he's tapped the quintessential rap video auteur to helm the debut clip, "Show Me What You Got," Hype Williams.
With hip-hop continuing it's slide into a morass of materialism and lyrical homogeneity EMERGE is hoping Jay Z's latest will reinvigorate the music that helped make him one of the most powerful figures in popular culture.
It appears you don't have Flash installed.
