Jay-Z is arguably one of the coolest mofo’s on the planet and he has further proven this point by swagging out “The Great Gatsby” soundtrack.

HipHollywood‘s friends over at EPK.tv chatted with the Brooklyn-born rapper who talked about being the executive producer for the soundtrack and collaborating with the film’s director, Baz Lurhmann.

“I was working on a song called ‘No Church In The Wild’, and I was working on it while they were in the room. And then we started playing some music and just talked about collaborating because, you know, it was a collaboration with Kanye at the time, and we just talked about the act and the art of collaborating and I guess that was the seed of the ideas.”
