Jay Z is promoting the release of ‘The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse’ in the US by playing principal for the days at schools in twelve different cities. At each school the rapper will address the student body, take questions, and take part in other principal-type activities before performing for about 300 people at a small venue in the evening. Each school is selected via a competition run by local radio stations - the stations announce the winning school on the air on the morning of that city's tour date. The radio station then give away the 300 tickets to the intimate evening gigs. The new album, the follow-up to last year's ‘The Blueprint’, features collaborations with Beyonce Knowles, boasts guest appearances by Dr. Dre, Rakim, the Neptunes' Pharrell Williams, Truth Hurts, and Lenny Kravitz.
