The paparazzi caught a glimpse of rapper Jay-Z as he exited Brixton Academy in London following Rihanna’s Nokia-sponsored concert event. He joined the pop singer during her 45-minute set and performed their hit song, “Run This Town.”

Rapper Young Jeezy, who also performed on stage with Rihanna, and singer Mr. Hudson were also seen leaving the venue after the show.

Another track from Rihanna’s soon-to-be-released album Rated R has surfaced. The song is called “Hard” and it features Young Jeezy.

This is definitely the best track we’ve heard from the Rated R recording sessions. The beat goes hard and has a lot of swag but unfortunately, Jeezy’s verse is the standout of the song and Rihanna’s voice starts to get irritating after a bit. And it’s her damn song, SMH… There are a couple R&B chicks we could name that’d fit better on this track. But it is what it is. Peep the download link below.

D/L: RIHANNA & YOUNG JEEZY – HARD

The 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards went down in Atlanta, GA Saturday (Oct 10). We hear Jay-Z and Young Jeezy opened the show in a big way with a surprise performance! Other tidbits from the show include the late DJ AM being the recipient of the “DJ of the Year” award, Kid & Play popping up during New Boyz‘ performance and Gucci Mane performing like 3 or 4 times. The show also featured performances from Soulja Boy, Ludacris, Jim Jones, Snoop Dogg and more.

The show, hosted by comedian Mike Epps, airs on BET on Tuesday, October 27th at 8/7c and we hear it was actually the best out of the few that have gone on over the past few years.

In the meantime, check out all of the photos/happenings from the events surrounding the show by hitting up our BET Hip-Hop Awards ‘09 section and continue reading below for more pics from inside the show!

(01.) Jay-Z was given the honor of being the top emcee in the rap game for the year 2009, according to MTV. They give most of the credit due to his recent success with his latest album, The Blueprint 3.

Blueprint 3 is another Hov tour de force — and it destroys the myth that there’s an age limit on being a dope MC. At 39 years old, Jay is arguably still better than anybody on the mic today, rhyming with precision and grace. He throws buzzsaws right from the gate on the intro “What We Talking About,” where he raps about what he deems to be nonsense, like dwelling on rap beef.

Check out the full list after the break!

Complex Magazine revealed their second cover for their upcoming October/November 2009 magazine issue, which features rapper Young Jeezy. The illustration was done by ESPO, a graphic artist out of Philadelphia who shares Jeezy’s interest in confronting American capitalism. The actual issue doesn’t drop nationwide until October 6th, but in the meantime check out a few photo outtakes and snippets from the interview…

Everyone seems to downplay your creative process as a songwriter. So walk us through developing a song.
Young Jeezy: I don’t go in the studio like, “I’ma make a smash today”—that ain’t my whole method. My music is feeling. If I just left the club or somethin’, I’ll probably go and cut a club record. If I’m going through something, then instead of it being bright in the studio, it might be a little dark, a little mellow in there, and it might be a feeling song.

So when you’re writing rhymes, and sh*t’s starting to connect, how do you feel?
Young Jeezy: Oh man, I get this sh*t in my stomach, it’s almost like butterflies.

People probably understimate your level as an artist.
Young Jeezy: Yeah, but you know, it’s always that fourth album. It’s like, n*ggas question Jay, n*ggas question Tip, niggas question Wayne, you know what I mean? It’s that fourth album: “Can you do it again?” Like I did it the first time. Came back, The Inspiration, done it again. The Recession, done it again. TM103, we’re doing it again! And it ain’t about a fan base — these are not fans. I look at this shit like family, like when you talk to your cousin: “Get your money.” But it ain’t what you got, it’s what you keep.

Rappers Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy are seen here performing on stage during the America’s Most Wanted Music Festival this past Friday night (Jul 31) in Camden, NJ. Jeezy is a headliner for the tour while Soulja Boy is a supporting act.

The tour also features Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew, along with Pleasure P and Jeremih. Hip-hop newcomer Drake was also a part of the tour, but will most likely not finish out the rest of the dates due to his injury.

Oh, by the way. If you’re keeping up with Young Jeezy’s beef with mixtape king DJ Drama, you should hit up Rap Radar for Drama’s response to Jeezy’s XXL cover story. According to Drama, the reason why Jeezy is amped with him stems back to an album release party he was deejaying for Jeezy (for free) and a Gucci Mane record was played. And you know how much Jeezy and Gucci hate each other (long story, different day … use Google).
