In February 2010, Jay-Z will embark on the second leg of his The Blueprint 3 tour stopping in a number of major cities including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and New Orleans.

In other Jay-Z news, Jay-Z has provided production for the Broadway play Fela! which will makes its Broadway debut at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre on Monday, November 23.

Along with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jay-Z joined the producing team of Fela! which celebrates the life and music of Nigeria’s Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

“It’s uncut. It’s true to the vision. It’s amazing! There is no option. I expect death to be the only reason why you did not see this production,” said The Roots’ Questlove on Fela!.
