Jay-Z’s Obama Victory Track Hits the ‘Net
An avid Barack Obama supporter, Jay-Z, like many other artists, including Will.i.am, jumped in the studio to express his sentiments regarding the President-elect's historic win.
The track, which mainly deals with Hova's distaste for defeat and passion for coming out on top, is titled 'History.' Jay previewed the track on Angie Martinez's Hot 97 radio show Wednesday.
It's unclear whether or not 'History' will appear on the rap icon's upcoming album, 'The Blueprint 3,' which is rumored to hit stores in December.
