Hustler to the end, Def Jam President and part owner of the New Jersey Nets Jay-Z is giving away advance copies of his un-retirement album KINGDOM COME to all fans who purchase ticket packages to the Nets' Premiere Week Games.

"I'm excited about this package as it combines two of my passions: music and the Nets," Jay said via a press release. "This is a great opportunity for our fans to see our first three games of the season and to get my new CD as soon as it hits the market."

On top of that, El Presidente will hand-sign 100 CDs randomly distributed to ticket package purchasers. The three-game package is now on sale, starting at $85. The Nets will take on the Toronto Rapters, Utah Jazz, and NBA Champion Miami Heat.
