Encore (Jay-Z song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Encore" is a song from Jay-Z's The Black Album. "Encore" received much popularity when it was mixed with Linkin Park's hit single "Numb" on the mash-up album Collision Course as Numb/Encore and eventually went on to win a Grammy Award.

"Encore" features vocals by John Legend, Don Crawley, GLC and Kanye West. The song was released by Roc-A-Fella Records and produced by Kanye West for KonMan Productions.

The production samples the intro to "I Will" by John Holt, and the song is in turn sampled by Dutch hardcore techno DJ J.D.A. in his single Encore (Do You Want More).

Jay-Z states that he's out the "country but the Blueberry still connects." This is a play on the Blackberry device created by Research In Motion
