Jay-Z was quoted saying the following, "Well, after the tour, I'm going back home and we'll look at it and see if I can start a project this year. I would love to do it, to be honest with you. It would be a great thing to do when I come home from tour, but it's vibe. I can't say, on this date this is going to happen. If I get home and the vibe is right, it'll happen. If not, then top of next year."

Although Jay has been rumored to have already started recording (producer Swizz Beatz told MTV News a few weeks ago he gave Hov some incredible tracks), the Brooklyn King stressed that he hasn't officially gone in on an album. He does seem to have everything already mapped out however.

"I can't give you the concepts or themes, but I've got a very clear direction of where I want to go with this one, and we'll see how it works."
