It appears that there is Michael Jackson and JayZ music floating about in the universe, as a remix featuring the two icons was discovered after being missing for two decades.

On a recent episode of the Bloomberg Originals series “Idea Generation” published on March 13, producer Just Blaze stated that a version of Jay-Z’s 2001 smash “Girls, Girls, Girls” with the adored late King of Pop does, in fact, exist.

“So Michael Jackson is on the ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ remix – the A version,” said the music industry veteran. “And I had no idea. I’m not sure if I went to the studio that day. I assumed it was an urban legend or something Jay said in a joke one day, or that it was some kind of myth.”

Jay-Z told British entertainment magazine New Musical Express (NME) shortly after Jackson’s untimely death in 2009 that the “Billie Jean” singer had recorded vocals for the track, but the version featured on the “Song Cry” rapper’s 2001 album The Blueprint did not feature Jackson, leaving curious minds wondering about the name-drop for several years following.

During the pandemic in 2020, Blaze claimed that he discovered the once-mysterious footage just a couple of years earlier while rummaging through his computer.

“I find this folder that says ‘MJ vocals,'” he recalled. “And I’m like, ‘MJ? Doesn’t that mean Michael Jackson?”

“And I realize as I’m listening to it, it’s him singing on ‘Girls, Girls, Girls.’ And I’m like, it’s true,” he added. “Like I never, the last 20 years… I just found it during quarantine. So all these years, I’ve never known it was actually a real thing. And turns out the files had been sitting downstairs this entire time.”
