“Would’ve brought the Nets to Brooklyn for free/ Except I made millions off it, you fuckin’ dweeb/ I still own the building, I’m still keeping my seat/ Y’all buy that bullshit, you’d better keep y’all receipt,” states the rapper on “Open Letter.”
For fans of the noted Brooklyn rapper, there may be more new tunes to come. During an interview with Hot 97, Swizz Beatz revealed that “Open Letter” was just one of three records he recorded with Jay-Z last night (April 10).
