Jay-Z Set To Release Tell All Book

Jay-Z has signed a deal to release his autobiography, which will include details on his marriage to Beyonce Knowles.

Jay-Z is planning to tell all about his marriage in a new book. The '99 Problems' rapper is set to pen an autobiography in which he will open up about his life with wife Beyonce Knowles, despite the pair making a pact to not speak about their relationship publicly.

A source said: "It's going to cover everything from his days on the streets as a drug dealer to his fairytale wedding to Beyonce. "He'll also be revealing his rapping secrets."

A spokesperson for the star confirmed plans for the tome, which as yet has no title or release date. Its release is expected to tie in with his next album, 'The Blueprint 3', which is due to come out in September.

The hip-hop star - real name Shawn Carter - previously scrapped plans for an autobiography, saying it would be too personal to write. Beyonce - who married 39-year-old Jay-Z in secret last April after dating him for around six years - has often credited the pair's refusal to discuss their relationship as the key to its longevity.

She said: "I think I have a successful, long-lasting relationship, longer than most people's in the industry, so I must be doing something right. "It's important for people to know that there's a line you can't cross in this. It's real. It's not like some fairytale that people watch for entertainment - it's real life and it's important to keep it to yourself.

"We worked really hard at keeping our wedding private. I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."
