Jay has been back on the grind and going hard in the studio. Some have even reported that he actually moved a bed into the studio so he could focus on his craft. Well Jay has recently released news that he will soon be releasing Blueprint 3 and gave a few introspectives about what to expect. Check what he said out after the jump...

This is the last ablum on Def Jam so I expect it to be a beast. 

"For me, the process of making an album is difficult with so many things going on," he told MTV. "And me, I wanna make it beyond and above. I'm gonna take my time with it. I don't have any quotas, and that's a good thing. It may be too freeing. It's a good thing and a bad thing. You know, I think I need some restrictions. 'Cause if I had restrictions, I would have done it in three weeks. I would have made what I believe to be a great piece of art."

Jay-Z also admitted that several of the records that are out online now are actually leaks from the Blueprint 3:

"I actually recorded a lot of records already. You know, all those records that leaked [online] were on 'The Blueprint 3'."

 Kanye is said to have the majority of the production credits. And stated that, "He wanted to do a few more joints, so he kinda pushed it back. Now we're gonna go in and just work on some more records. So I got some more stuff to kill it with! I think [Jay pushed the album back because] 'Swagger' just did so incredible. We wanted to go up [and make sure] everything was on that level."
