Jay-Z has reacted nonchalantly to the news that his forthcoming new album, 'The Blueprint 3', has leaked online.
The album is not set for official release until September 11, but it has leaked, with fans sharing the tracks from the Kanye West-produced album early.
"I may be the most bootlegged artist in history," he told MTV News. "It's a preview. I'm excited for people to hear the album. I'm very proud of the work I've done, so enjoy it."
'The Blueprint 3' features collaborators including Rihanna, Empire Of The Sun's Luke Steele and Pharrell Williams.
The rapper recently announced details of a gig at the London Roundhouse, sandwiched between his Coldplay support slots at Wembley Stadium later this month.
