Since the Blueprint 3 was pushed up and is dropping today I thought this would be a perfect time to post this song. This is the first time Jay-Z ever appeared on wax and is from High Potent’s song “H.P. Get Busy” and features none other then a young 16 year old Hova. The song itself is very old and it is hard to imagine how far hip-hop and it’s most popular artist today have come in this time. It actually doesn’t even sound like Jay to me but that probably has a lot to do with how dated the sound is and his age. Being a guest artist Jay-Z doesn’t get too much shine on the record, it is still dope though and hope it inspires some young artist to keep grinding.
