Beyond all of the drama between Jay-Z and practically every other rapper, Jay has managed to release the official first single off of his highly anticipated album Blueprint 3.

The track titled "Run This Town" features a hook from Rihanna and a verse from Kanye West. Over a haunting yet penetrating beat the three work in unison adding their own flavor and style making the track diverse and radio worthy.

Though the track may need to grow on some music listeners, "Run This Town" is a song that is more than appropriate for a first single to get the Jay-Z fans ready for the inevitable fire.

Blueprint 3 is due in stores September 11th.
