When I talked with Jay-Z yesterday [Watch the video here] after the press conference unveiling his benefit at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 11 for the New York Police & Fire Widows and Children's Benefit Fund, he focused on the concert and didn't want to reveal too much about "The Blueprint 3," which hits stores on the same day.

"It's a great album," was all he would say.

With "The Blueprint 3" now available over on MTV's "The Leak," it's pretty clear why he'd want to let the music speak for itself.

Tickets for the concert are $50 and go on sale Sept. 8 through Ticketmaster.
