The Blueprint 3 The Blueprint 3 is the eleventh studio album by American rapper Jay-Z, released September 8, 2009, on Roc Nation, through distribution from Atlantic Records. It is the third "Blueprint" album, preceded by "The Blueprint" (2001) and "" (2002). Production for the album took place during 2008 to 2009 at several recording studios and was handled by Kanye West, No I.D., The Neptunes, Jeff Bhasker, Al Shux, Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, The Inkredibles, Swizz Beatz, and Timbaland. This is the "Blueprint" album in the "Blueprint" trilogy, as well as the first Jay-Z album since "Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter" (1999), not to feature production from Just Blaze.
Tha Carter III Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne, released on June 10, 2008, by Cash Money and Universal Motown. It follows a long string of mixtape releases and guest appearances on other hip hop and R&B artists records, helping to increase his exposure in the mainstream. The album's cover art features a baby picture of Wayne and is similar to covers of hip hop albums such as Nas's "Illmatic" (1994) and Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready to Die" (1994). Amid release delays and leaks, "Tha Carter III" became one of the most anticipated releases of 2008.
