With the addition of explosive MTV fan outreach, the Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come promotional juggernaut is reaching critical mass.
The website for the music television channel recently unveiled an entire subdomain dedicated to the Brooklyn rapper. Jay-z.mtv.com will offer a wide assortment of goodies to tempt the palates of Jay-Z fans such as the “Video Vault Experience,†which offers users a detailed career timeline composed of footage from MTV’s archives, Hova’s music videos, and a ton of live performances.
Fans will also be privy to updates and performance clips from the rapper’s one-day “Hangar Tour.†As previously reported, the tour is a 17-hour, one day event that will span seven US cities.
In addition, MTV will air “Diary of JAY-Z: Water for Life,†a documentary program examining the world’s water crisis, on November 19, 2:00pm EST on MTV2 and on MTV on November 24, 9:00am EST.
Finally, the network will also run “The Jay-Z Platinum Experience†contest. Users can visit www.mtvjay-zplatinumexperience.com for a chance to experience the life of a rap star including a private helicopter trip to NYC, a private tour of the Island Def Jam offices, a personalized JAY-Z platinum album, NJ Nets tickets and other goodies. The contest runs from November 18, 2006 through December 9, 2006.
In related news, the recently acquired Clear Channel Radio started running “Sneak Peek,” on November 14 which makes the entire album available to its audience. New York radio stations Power 105.1 and Z100 is also offering an album listening on their respective websites.
Jay-Z’s double-disc comeback set Kingdom Come is scheduled for a November 21 release.

I watched the Jay-Z documentary today on MTV on the water for life. I just wanted to give Jay credit for shedding the light on the living conditions and the lack of running water in parts of Africa. Like Jay said, it’s 2006 and it’s incredible how people are still living. It’s truly a shame, and heartbreaking to know how many children die each year from diseases from having proper sanitation. I hope more people will get involved with this crisis. Together we can make a difference!

yo i gotta say that jay z has been a big inspiration to me as far as music goes. I lve rap i do rap and hopefully i’ll be as successful as jay one day. But now i can say he definitly inspires me as a person to see him down there in africa supplying clean water to derserving people.now a days water is so basic and easy to get i mean people struggle everywhare even here in america but down here the ghetto’est slums and even project apartments have running water.so i couldnt imagine living like that but thanks to jay he’s starting to make a difference and seeing him help out will inspire others to help out and together the people across america can not only help africa but also other countries going through the same problems. so BIG BIG shout outs to jay z and madd love ti ya brotha
