Jay Z celebrated Father's Day with two new bundles of joy and a big music announcement.
The 47-year-old rapper will release a new album, titled “4:44,” on June 30. But here's the catch: It will be available exclusively on Tidal. Fans will have to purchase a subscription to the music mogul's streaming service to hear his first LP release since 2013's "Magna Carta Holy Grail."
The announcement of the new album comes weeks after mysterious “4:44” subway posters and several other advertisements starting popping up without any explanation, but we now know that “4:44” was part of the Tidal-only film starring Mahershala Ali, Lupita Nyong'o and Danny Glover to compliment the album.
