A book showcasing interviews with Jay-Z and his family and friends will finally be released.
The book, titled Decoded, was completed "several years ago" according to the man himself, but is only now seeing the light of day.
Jay-Z told Rolling Stone that he was hesitant to release the book.
"It's too much. For the book, I was interviewed, people close to me were interviewed. So I was learning a lot of things I didn't know as a child," he said.
Then again, he admitted that the book won't necessarily say anything he hasn't said before in his songs, just that, "A book doesn't have to rhyme, and it has no time limit, so you can say exactly how everything went."
Jay-Z collaborated on Decoded with former editor of The Source, Dream Hampton. It'll be 336 pages long and is set for a November release.
