Jay z blueprint 1 songs5/29/2023 Producer Kanye West’s sample-heavy tracks, though, are juxtaposed with the slick production of Trackmasters (“Jigga That Nigga”) and perennial Jay-Z collaborator Timbaland (on the electro/raga-infused “Hola’ Hovita”). The album’s first single, “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” adds another piano-sample-based anthem to Jay-Z’s repertoire, this time courtesy of the Jackson 5’s classic “I Want You Back.” With tracks like “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love),” The Blueprint follows in the steps of Moby’s celebrated Play, adding ‘70s soul to the rapper’s predictable mix of self-declaration and catty peer-dissing. The newest release from the ever-prolific Jay-Z, however, hopes to inject the genre with some much-needed soul. Unless you’re a Fugee, hip-hop is mostly about the beats.
