Rapper Jay-Z is all set to begin a brief tour of five-date, five-city on November 6, 2007 to promote his tenth studio album titled ‘American Gangster’. The forthcoming album of hip-hop entertainer is his first ‘concept album’ inspired by the film of the same name.

Jay-Z, 37, recently expressed his embarrassment on his retirement, which he celebrated with a gig at Madison Square Gardens in New York City, on November 25, 2003, as he said:
I want to never say that again. People looking at me like, ‘Please shut up.’ I was looking at Fade To Black the other day. I was embarrassed...I’m not playing with you. I had to turn it off. I was cringing.
The rap mogul released ‘Kingdom Come’ in 2006 and ‘American Gangster’ is his second album release since his retirement.

Nov 6 - Los Angeles - House of Blues
