Throughout his mainstream career, Jay-Z has always been able to count on his cohorts, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. His biggest hits have come over their beats, with such singles as “On to the Next One” and “Big Pimpin,” only naming a few. The latest track Jay-Z collaborated with Swizz Beatz and Timbaland on is “Open Letter.”
Firing back and the backlash over appearing in Cuba with Beyonce for their fifth wedding anniversary, Jay-Z released “Open Letter.” On the song, Jay-Z addresses everything from his Nets deal to his relationship with President Obama. Earlier today, the White House issued a response to Jay-Z.
