Jay-Z New Album? Jigga In Studio With Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Drake

This may be wishful thinking, but Jay-Z just might be working on a new album. In recent days, Jigga has been photographed with a slew of hip-hop stars including Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Timbaland,  Swizz Beatz and Drake.

Here he is with Ross, Khaled and Timbo:

Earlier in the week he was also photographed with Timbo :

Last month, he was caught with Drake, Swizz Beatz and,yes, Timabaland.

After a post-Black Album slump, Jay-Z has come out strong on Kanye collaborations Cruel Summer and Watch the Throne. With all these different studio shots, we're either going to see a guest verse heavy summer for HOV or a new album is in the works.

I'm torn on this.

For the most part, when the Jigga man collaborates with people who aren't named Kanye, the end results kinda suck. But I have faith in Timmy, who appears to be Jay's new best friend.

What do you think? Is a new Jay-Z album in the works?
