The Blueprint III is shaping up really nicely. Between this latest track, "Empire State of Mind" (feat Alicia Keys) and "Run this Town" (feat Rihanna & Kanye) this is quickly shaping up to be the album of the year (that is, of course, assuming that Dre isn't going to drop Detox). This doesn't come as a complete shock but after mixed-reviews for Kingdom Come it's good to see that the "Frank Sinatra of rap" has brought his A game for this most recent album.

The full album drops on September 11, grab it on itunes or your local music store.

For now, you can grab a few tracks via Itunes or at Get Right.
