Jay-Z fans can add another album to their digital music collection as the rapper's classic debut Reasonable Doubt is now available to download online for the first time on iTunes and other digital download stores.
According to BlockSavvy.com’s Kareem "Biggs" Burke, the album will be distributed online via TuneCore starting tomorrow (November 29).
Damon Dash and Burke retained the rights to the masters to Jay-Z’s classic album Reasonable Doubt when Roc-A-Fella was sold to Island Def Jam in 2004 for $10 million dollars.
The decision to use TuneCore to re-release Reasonable Doubt was based on the way it handled music from Jay-Z in the past, said BlockSavvy.com executive Kareem "Biggs" Burke.
"We went with TuneCore because TuneCore delivered Jay-Z's music while keeping none of the rights and none of the profits for themselves," Burke told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "For the first time, thanks to TuneCore, Jay-Z's great first album will be available in iTunes."

One of the writers over at Highbrid Nation did an interesting write up saying that all this work Dame has been doing with Reasonable Doubt lately is a smack in the face to Jay-Z. Personally I think it's all good as long as everyone is getting a cut.
Thats real dame and biggs deserve sumthing out of that whole dynasty they built !
its only fair at the end of the day !
