Posted June 17, 201312 yr B--ZARCwSIE Jay-Z's 12th Studio Album will be released on 4th July 2013. He's been in the studio working with Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Timbaland and more. More details on the release strategy and the involvement of Samsung here.
June 18, 201312 yr I love the video in the opening post so much. Daft Punk, Disclosure, Kanye, Jay-Z... this year is going to be so incredible for albums! :wub:
June 18, 201312 yr Apparently Samsung have bought 1 million copies of this in the USA to give out free to people who buy their phones, so it's already gone platinum. If those count towards its first week 'sales' it's going to look ridiculously huge.
June 21, 201312 yr Author Billboard have said now that they won't be counting the copies sold with this Samsung deal (it doesn't meet the minimum album price required to chart). Makes sense and it should still get very healthy sales despite these ones not counting. Full report here: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=388879

June 24, 201312 yr Author Justin Timberlake apparently features on the title track which might actually be coming very soon! (and i'm really hoping BBC is the BBC too, but i think we might be on different wave lengths here Rabbit H so i'll hush for now (:kink:))
June 24, 201312 yr (and i'm really hoping BBC is the BBC too, but i think we might be on different wave lengths here Rabbit H so i'll hush for now (:kink:)) Oops, just found out what it will actually be about, ha!

July 2, 201312 yr The album art is shit. I hate this trend of super-basic-on-purpose-to-make-a-statement-but-f***-knows-what-that-statement-is album covers. Put some effort in!
July 3, 201312 yr Very interested to hear BBC with all of those features. Is this still being released tomorrow?
July 3, 201312 yr I'm actually getting ridiculously excited. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the best album of the year when it's released.
