Hear Kanye West-produced 'We Made History' online now

Jay-Z has released a new song - apparently to celebrate Barack Obama's election as US president.

The Kanye West-produced track 'We Made History' has appeared online in the aftermath of the election, although it is believed that the song is set to feature on Jay-Z's forthcoming album 'The Blueprint 3'.

Synth-driven and featuring singer Tony Williams, the song finds Jay-Z rapping " Where are you victory? I need you desperately/ Not just for the moment, to make history" before celebrating in the final verse that "Long after I'm gone, long after I breathe/I leave all I am in the hands of history."

The track can be currently heard via Kanye West's blog.
