Jay-Z And Kanye West Release Barack Obama 'History Song'

November 10, 2008
Jay-Z And Kanye West Release Barack Obama 'History Song'US rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West have released another collaboration which is believed to feature on Jay-Z's next album, 'Blueprint 3'.

'We Made History', which has been produced by West, also features a sample of Tony Williams.

The song's lyrics, and the timing of its release, appear to reference Barack Obama's recent election as the next president of the United States.

It's the second song West has leaked from his recent recording sessions with the rapper.

In August, fans were treated to a track called 'Jockin' Jay-Z', in which Jay-Z mocks Noel Gallagher's comments about his performance at the Glastonbury Festival.

The album is also expected to feature Jay-Z's reposte to T.I.'s 'Swagger Like Us', which includes collaborations with Young Jeezy, Andre 3000 and Nas.

At present, it's not clear when 'Blueprint 3' will be released.
