534 is the fourth studio album by rapper Memphis Bleek. It was Released by Roc-A-Fella Records on May 17, 2005.[9] The album contains 14 songs, including the hit single "Like That" produced by Swizz Beatz. A single by Bleek's mentor and childhood friend Jay-Z entitled "Dear Summer" was produced by Just Blaze. Other guests include Young Gunz, M.O.P., and the first ever appearance from Rihanna.
The title is a reference to the address of Marcy Houses, 534 Flushing Ave., where Bleek and Jay-Z grew up.

Memphis is his dude.

Beanie probably didnt want her on his project, if you look at their tracklistings..if it wasn't used to introduce her as a single..

Its a one off..

Not to mention Freeway didnt put out a album till 07',and State Prop at the time was all fukked in the game far as Beans being in Jail and Jay Z retiring.
