Jay-Z wants to focus on Blue Ivy rather than record new music

Jay-Z won't be recording new material just yet, instead he will be spending time with Blue Ivy...

Rap mogul Jay-Z is a busy man.

A few weeks ago he announced the “Watch the Throne” European tour and Monday he announced that he would headline the Made In America festival, but for fan’s expecting new music, they will have to settle for past Hov classics.

That’s because the new dad said he wants to spend more time with 4-month old daughter Blue Ivy. Hip-Hop Wired has the latest.

If the announcement of the Watch the Throne Europe tour, and his appearance on other music stages this year, had fans hoping that a new Jay-Z project was in the works, it’s not going to happen—anytime soon. Brooklyn’s finest announced earlier today that he will headline Budweiser’s Made In America festival, but as far as putting out a new album, Jay has a more important priority holding his attention: his daughter.

Having already admitted that the baby will be spoiled, Papa Hov has now put the breaks on creating records. “I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter,” he told Billboard at the press conference held in Philadelphia early Monday (May 14). “I want to enjoy this time for what it is. I’m sure that bug to get back in the studio will come back at some point.”
