He's in top form on Kingdom Come. John Legend, fiancee Beyoncé and unlikely new buddy Chris Martin are among the supporting cast: Legend adds autumnal poignance to 'Do U Wanna Ride', Beyoncé leaves her indelible voiceprint on 'Hollywood' and Martin and Jay are surprisingly compatible on the dreamy 'Beach Chair'. But it's Jay who carries the record's weight squarely on his shoulders. His boomy flow is supple and energised, whether he is waxing indignant about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on Minority Report, or promising Beyoncé all kinds of naughtiness on the fantastic, saxophone-based 'Show Me What You Go'. At 37, he's still at the top of his game.
