Soft Artifacts presents "The Blueprint of Azkaban", a Jay-Z vs. Harry Potter mashup bringing together rap music and wizardry like never before. For your listening pleasure is "The Ruler's Back (It's Sirius)" the first track from the forthcoming full-length album. Drawing inspiration from the tense climate at Hogwarts following Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban, the track imagines, if you will, if Jay-Z had been cast into the role of Sirius, turning the wizarding world on its head and becoming one of Harry's greatest allies in the fight against You-Know-Who.

Source material includes elements of Jay-Z's "The Ruler's Back" from his album "The Blueprint" mixed with soundtrack material from "Harry Potter - The Prisoner of Azkaban" composed by none other than John Williams.
