With his album release date slowly approaching, tracks from Jay-Z’s album Blueprint 3 have been experiencing some serious leakage.

A new track titled “Venus vs. Mars” from the rapper has been added into the leaked equation and it might be a track that the female demographic may find appealing.

The song plays on Jay-Z being the narrator to a “his and her” story. In the track, he elaborates on his possessions and what his prospective mystery "shorty" has to offer.

In related news, Jay-Z will not have to worry about promoting his album to his conservative audience because he has Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh doing it for free. In a verse from Jay’s song“Off That” that features Drake, the rapper takes a lyrical jab at Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh by rapping “Please tell Bill O'Reilly to fall back/ Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my b---s/ It's 2010, not 1864."

In response to the mentions, O’Reilly rolled his eyes on his nightly Fox news program and compared Jay to Otis Redding (a black rhythm and blues soul singer that transformed his less than perfect experience in America into hit music). Rush did Jay one better; he played the song on the air during his radio show and responded to it by saying “I have been mentioned in a rap song by the rapper Jay-Z. As far as I know, I have never been mentioned in a rap song by anybody. It means I've made it. I'm now on a rap tune by the famous rapper Jay-Z”.

Jay-Z is set to perform a one-night-only gig at Madison Square Garden September 11th that will air commercial free on Fuse TV. Blueprint 3 is due in stores that same day.
 

More songs from Jay-Z that are set to appear on Blueprint 3:

• Jay-Z- "Reminder"
• Jay-Z ft. Drake- "Off That"
• Jay-Z ft. Kanye West & Rihanna- "Run This Town"
• Jay-Z- D.O.A. (Death Of Autotune)
