Now that Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 is just about here, the legendary rapper has to really kick the promotion machine into high gear. That's why we're happy to report he's rolling out a sweeping North American tour.
The best part is that Jay's not being stingy with Canada. After his sure-to-be-legendary Madison Square Garden performance on September 11, Hova will play two U.S. dates before popping up to Canada for shows in Edmonton, Calgary, Kelowna and Vancouver. Then it's back to the States for a bit before he returns to the Great White North with more stops in London, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
Support acts for the tour haven't been confirmed yet but if Eminem was joining him, it would probably have been announced, so the rumours likely aren't true.
