SOB's Show

November 15, 2003


Just wanted to thank everybody who came through to my show @ SOB's in
New York. It was a beautiful night. The energy in the place was
incredible. This was my first full band show in New York in almost a
year, and y'all reminded me why I love doing this. Very inspiring.

See you next time...

Black Album Update

November 6, 2003


So everybody's talking about the Black Album leak. I'm out in L.A.
right now shooting a video with two of Chicago's favorite sons Kanye &
Twista ("Slow Jamz"). Anyway, we turned on the radio and all the
hip-hop stations are playing Jay-Z's whole album. Yeah, they have
every track. Bootleggers always find a way. If you've been fortunate
(or sneaky) enough to stumble on the album, you might recognize my
vocals and piano on the hot Kanye-produced joint, "Encore". If you're
an upstanding citizen and you like to do it the legal way, you can
wait and cop the album on the new advanced release date, November 14.
Man, it's an honor to be a part of that album. History in the making.
