When Hov speaks, we listen. 

In a recent interview with BlackTree.TV, Jay-Z discussed his involvement in executive producing The Great Gatsby soundtrack

Interesting enough, Jay-Z revealed the idea to executive produce the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby came about when Leonardo DiCaprio stopped by the Mercer Hotel while Kanye and Jay were recording Watch The Throne

Considering The Great Gatsby an atypical soundtrack, Jay-Z enlisted the talents of contemporary artists like his wife Beyonce, Andre 3000, The xx, Lana Del Rey, and Fergie, among many others.

The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and is scheduled to hit theaters May 10.
