You Wont Believe What Jay-Z Has Decided To Call His 12th Studio Album

Announcement: Jay-Z appeared in a three minute commercial on Sunday night to announce the release of his new album
Jay-Z has announced the release date of his first solo studio album in four years.
The 43-year-old rapper made the announcement during the half time of NBA Finals Sunday night during a commercial for Samsung cell phones.
The new album is called Magna Carta Holy Grail and will be released on July 4.
I'm very confused about this title. What has Magna-Carta(a document that recognizes or guarantees rights, privileges, or liberties) got to do with the Holy Grail( the cup said to have been used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, and by Joseph of Arimathea to collect his blood and sweat at the Crucifixion)??? These rappers and the questionable names they give their albums...smh.
Anyway, it was also revealed that one million lucky fans will get the album for free – provided they own a Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note II handset. Others will have to wait for 72 hours, when it will go on general release.
Magna Carta Holy Grail is Jay-Z’s first album since he collaborated with Kanye West for 2011’s Watch The Throne, and his first solo effort since 2009’s The Blueprint 3.
 
But mehn, one has to give Jay-Z kudo's. 12 studio albums, most of which were very successful is no easy feat.
