Jay-Z's American Gangster hits stores today, as does the actual soundtrack to the Ridley Scott-Denzel Washington-Russell Crowe American Gangster movie. which mixes up Bobby Womack funk, Staple Singers and Sam & Dave soul, and Public Enemy rap, along with a score by Bomb Squad producer Hank Shocklee.
My review of the music will be in the Inky come Sunday. Meanwhile, here's a clip of Jigga on Letterman from last Friday. Stick with it through the interview segment and check the horn heavy band he'll be bringing to the Fillmore next Monday.
