Jay-Z Dropping New Album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, On July 4 [VIDEO]

Jay-Z is just playing on another level right now. That special announcement that he teased this past Friday turned out to be that his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, is finished, and will be out July 4.

Hova made the announcement via a commercial that aired during game five of the NBA Finals. The spot features a murderer’s row of producers that contributed to the project; Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and the legendary Rick Rubin.

“The idea is to really finish the album and drops it,” Jigga tells Rubin. Now what’s Samsung—who the rapper/mogul reportedly inked a $20 million dollar deal with—have to do with this?
