Jay-Z readies a new album

jayzJay-Z was so inspired by the new movie "American Gangster," starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, that he wrote an entire album based on it.

He announced yesterday that his "American Gangster" will come out on Roc-A-Fella Records on Nov. 6. In a statement, his record company said that the album draws on Jay's past experiences and will "articulate the lure of a gangster's life," as well as discuss the lasting effects of drugs on a community.

 "American Gangster" will be Jay-Z's second album in less than a year, after leaving behind retirement to release last year's "Kingdom Come."
