Now that Jay-Z's Blueprint 3is out (and is totally meh), all eyes have turned towards the inevitable expansion of the album for the holiday season. It turns out Jigga already has a handful of tracks ready to go for that, including one called "Crispy Benjamins," where he samples Regina Spektor's "Chemo Limo," from her Soviet Kitsch LP. I'm betting the sample has more to do with the piano figures than Spektor's singing, but I could be wrong. The deluxe Blueprint 3 is expected out later this year. [NME]
