Preceding her "Hot Five at 4:00" show today (September 10), New York City's Hot 97 radio personality, Angie Martinez, just announced that Jay-Z and R. Kelly will be re-issuing their Best of Both Worlds album to coincide with their tour.
The re-issued album will be entitled, The Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business and will feature newly recorded tracks. How many new tracks to be included is yet to be announced, but Martinez said she heard all kinds of numbers, anywhere from three new tracks to 12, making for a possible double album.
On the air, Martinez played two new tracks, "Don't Let Me Die" and "The Return" off the new album. "Don't Let Me Die" is produced by the Trackmasters and features Kelly rhyming on his first verse.
The next song, "The Return" plays like the Best of Both Worlds title track from the original album, only it's something like a part two. "It's the return of the best of both worlds," the Pied Piper sings on the hook.
Martinez also announced that Jay-Z and Kelly have added NYC's Madison Square Garden as another stop on their Best of Both Worlds Tour. The tickets for that show go on sale next Saturday, but the famed NYC station is giving them out to callers as prizes.
The Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business is slated for an October 26 release, according to Hot 97.
