Fresh out of his deal with Def Jam Records, Jay-i unveils his latest `Blueprint' for success.

At just about any given moment of any given day -including this sunlit June Friday afternoon -Jay -Z is a busy man. Sitting on a swivel chair at his Roc the Mic studios in downtown Manhattan with a glass of Santa Margherita white wine in hand, he tackles interview after interview with Japanese reporters, pausing only to use the restroom or ask his club, assistant to get him a refill or an order of food from his sports I 40/40. But while he handles his international duties, his Roc Nation team -seven people, including his assistant, longtime publicist and his engineers -make sure his empire runs smoothly. His employees are scattered around the room, some perched on stools and couches, others standing or sitting on the floor. His assistant is booking flights, hotels and car service for the BET Awards, which is taking place that weekend; his publicist whispers on the phone about another magazine story. His engineer catches a CNN report about Michael Jackson's death the day before and wonders about what might happen to his estate and kids. The rest of the Roc Nation crew sit with laptops in hand. Jay -Z, born Shawn Carter and raised in Brooklyn's Marcy Projects, is the first to admit he could npt have reached half of his successes on >e. B,t is his overarching big b.ass..vision and talent that . have positioned him as one of the most iconic artists of his time.

CHRISTIAN BY DEBORAH EVANS PRICE SPREADING THE WORD The Award -Winning '' Series Releases A New Album And Builds A Brand

Late on a hot summer night, deep in the Georgia woods, music is spilling from a rustic cabin. Third Day frontman Mac Pow- ell, , Shane & Shane, Shawn Lewis, Bethany Olds, Trevor Morgan and a cast of talented songwriters and musi- cians have gathered in the rural setting to write and record the old- fashioned way. There's no studio clock ticking, no label executives stopping by, just camaraderie and a sense of cre- ative adventure. A year later on July 14 Provident Music Group's released the product of those backwoods recording sessions: "Glory Revealed II: The Word of God in Worship." "It went beyond my expectations," says Powell, who was look- ing to duplicate the musical chemistry that developed on the road when he and friends toured in support of the first "Glory Revealed" album. "My idea was to make it an artist retreat and capture Glory days The musicians behind `Glory Revealed II' that fellowship and camaraderie we have on the road.
