The song, entitled 'When The Money Goes', appeared on various file sharing websites yesterday (January 27th).

The track echoes 50 Cent's '21 Questions' in that it sees Jay-Z question whether a woman would stay with him if he were to lose all his money.

"When the money goes, Will the honey stay? / When the grey skies replace the sunny days, Heeeey," the rapper sings in the chorus.

At present, it's not clear whether 'When The Money Goes' is destined to appear on Jay-Z's forthcoming album 'Blueprint 3'.

Speaking earlier this month, the rapper vowed to take his time with the record, which will feature production from Kanye West.

"For me, the process of making an album is difficult with so many things going on. And me, I wanna make it beyond and above. I'm gonna take my time with it,” he said.

Two other tracks from 'Blueprint 3' – 'Jockin' Jay-Z' and 'History' – have already leaked online.
