"It was like I was watching the film and putting it on pause and giving a back story to the story," Jay said. "Watching that film, it brought back all these memories. It took me back to those emotions." The new album will be aptly titled American Gangster will be released just after the movie which hits the silver screen on November 2nd in the US.
