A day after fans were treated to a teaser of Jay-Z's "100$ Bill" anthem, another track off his executive-produced The Great Gatsby film soundtrack has found its way online.
Although merely a teaser, Jay’s wife Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and OutKast’s Andre 3000‘s “Back To Black” Amy Winehouse cover is now floating online.
Beyoncé and André 3000 duet on their highly-anticipated remake of Amy Winehouse’s 2007 song “Back to Black.” A snippet of their dark and haunting collaboration, which appears on The Great Gatsby soundtrack, has surfaced. The OutKast legend takes his time rapping his verse, while Queen B burns slow with her seductive vocals. Due May 7, the soundtrack also includes contributions from Jay-Z, will.i.am, Fergie, Q-Tip, Lana Del Rey, Gotye, Florence + The Machine, The xx, and Emeli Sandé. (Rap-Up)
Young Hov’s new “100$ Bill” sprouted up across the Internet over the weekend.
Serving as executive producer for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby film has its benefits. Along with assembling an all-star cast, Jay-Z includes his own new song titled “100$ Bill.” Appearing on the soundtrack’s deluxe edition arriving on May 7, you can now enjoy a extended preview of Hov’s new offering, courtesy of iTunes. Jay-Z name drops Slick Rick, 9/11, politicians, and drug peddling on the groovy sounding cut. Co-starring with Jay on the project are Lana Del Rey, will.i.am, Fergie, Q-Tip, Gotye, Florence + The Machine, The xx, and Emeli Sandé. Beyoncé and André 3000’s cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” is the second bonus track, only available on the deluxe edition. (Miss Info TV)
