Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, Kanye West, and Lebron James appear on the cover (pictured at left) of XXL magazine's August issue, which is arriving at newsstands now. The accompanying article discusses Jay-Z's role as Def Jam president, and includes an interview with S. Carter himself, as well as commentaries from other Def Jam/Roc-A-Fella artists. Foxy writes about her longstanding relationship with Jay, and details his input on her forthcoming Black Roses LP. "Jay and I believe there is no one else who can do reggae-hip-hop like me," she explains, "so out of twelve songs on the album, I have five reggae and seven hip-hop." Though Brown acknowledges a falling-out with Jay that followed the release of her Chyna Doll album, she reassures readers that their relationship is stronger than ever, both having learned from past mistakes. "In my heart of hearts, I always knew we would be together again," she adds, "because I know that our love is genuine for each other and it supercedes music." Be sure to support Foxy and Roc-A-Fella by picking up a copy of XXL today.
