Blueprint 3, is rumored to be a work of art. He recently revealed to Reuters the basics of Blueprint 3 and what the fans should expect.

“This being the end of the trilogy, I wanted to bring it full circle. The first Blueprint was based on soul samples and more of a place where I came from and the records I listened to growing up with my mom and pop.

He said: “This Blueprint, I liken it to a new classic, simply because we — Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, myself — are becoming the people that we looked up to musically growing up, like Marvin Gaye and Frank Sinatra.”(MTV UK)

Blueprint 3 is set to be released September 11.
