I can’t front; I’m excited for this project. Even without the Samsung hoopla, the fact that Jay-Z even said “fuck it; let’s make this album and get it out as soon as we can.” That’s not major label shit, but then again, we’re living in a #newrules era (which apparently included the Kanye West “New Slaves” projections, the J Cole app at the Born Sinner listening session, and something involving Wale next week), so it can be applauded. This #newrules initiative seems to also have included a viral scavenger hunt, which apparently unlocked the tracklisting for Magna Carta Holy Grail:
There are no features listed, the inclusion of Boi-1da as a producer, and a bunch of blacked-out text. The app is due out on June 24, with the album dropping on July 4, so we’ll get more info soon enough, but for now, here’s what could possibly be the Magna Carta Holy Grail tracklist:
01. Picasso Baby
02. Heaven
03. Versus
04. Tom Ford
05. Beach Is Better
06. FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt
07. Oceans
08. F.U.T.W.
09. Part II (On The Run)
10. BBC
11. La Familia
12. Jay-Z Blue
13. Nickles & Dimes
14. Holy Grail (Bonus Track)
15. Open Letter (Bonus Track)
