Magna Carta Holy Grail is the upcoming twelfth studio album by American rapper Jay-Z. The album is scheduled for release on July 4, 2013 by Roc-A-Fella and Roc Nation while being distributed by Universal.
During the fifth game of the 2013 NBA Finals, Jay-Z was featured in a new commercial by Samsung where he announced that his twelfth studio album would be titled, Magna Carta Holy Grail and would be released on July 4, 2013. He was seen speaking to producer Rick Rubin in the studio about the album saying, "The album is about, like this duality of how do you navigate through this whole thing, through success, through failures, through all this and remain yourself." The album will be available for free download on July 4, 12:01 a.m. EST, to the first one million Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note II users.
View a short video below which features raw cuts from, what we presume is, the new album. The video features all of the likely collaborators, Pharrell, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, and Rick Rubin. Can you get more stoked than this?
A confirmed track list has also been added, scroll down for more.
“Samsung Galaxy Smartphone users will be able to download an app June 24 that will allow the first 1 million users to unlock the Jay-Z’s 12th album for free July 4 at 12:01 a.m., 72 hours ahead of release.” So I guess it comes out July 7th
which means july 4th because the album would leak
Samsung + Jay Z? Well, he is a business, man. I’m excited about the album though.
Hov is back!
album will be released on july 7
july 4th
Octobers own but it’s lookin like July 4th.
can someone change the release date to july 7th
this will be dope
Very dope promo beats, can’t be worse than Yeezus.
dear god, nothing can be worse than the disaster that is “yeezus”
C’mon..Yeezus wasn’t that bad. Lyrically it was terribly written, but composition wise it was great. Magna Carta will be the best album of 2013 though…no doubt about that.
Best album of 2013? Nah, gee… It’s obviously Falling In Reverse’s album. An emo kid trying to rap is, like, the best shit ever. [/sarcasm]
Hate to say it, but Eminem’s prrrrobably most likely gonna have the album of the year, sorrynotsorry.
Until Detox drops that is….
Until Danny Brown drops OLD.
Idk why the fuck that didn’t post under my name…
“Disaster” Yet got universal acclaim. Yep.
Yeezus wasn’t a disaster. Maybe a disaster to people who only listen to “rap”, but people who listen to “music” def understood the whole point of the album. Is it easy to listen to? No. Is it brilliant? Yes.
No Yeezus was not “brilliant”. I’m so sick of people who call anything that is different brilliant without thinking. You’re probably the same type of person who thinks that video of Lady Gaga gallivanting naked through a forest was “brilliant art”. No, it wasn’t. It was a pale naked bitch by some trees. You can derive meaning from anything if you try hard enough but the fact that you have to reach so deeply to find meaning does NOT make something good or in your words… “brilliant”. Yeezus was trash.
When has a jay z album ever disappointed? What’s wrong with our generation where Mac miller has more hype than jigga?!
Really? Maybe because Mac’s album was announced last October, and Jay’s was announced 3 days before you posted that comment. No one else figured that out?
Kingdom Come /Blueprint 3/
Exactly.
yall just didnt understand what he talking about
I understood exactly what he was saying. It just wasn’t a good album for someone who’s argued GOAT.
Kingdom Come disappointed not BPIII
BP3 was pretty good dude.
Thank you.
Jay-Z’s second album sucked, but you new hip-hop kids don’t remember
Blueprint 2 sucked
All his work with R. Kelly sucked
Blueprint 3 sucked
Kingdom Come sucked…
Basically every other album Jigga drops ends up being boring…
True his work with R Kelly sucked by all his other work was either good or great blueprint 2 was a good album it just wasnt as good as the blueprint which is a classic and blueprint 3 was a great album too if anyone else put it out besides jay z it would be consider a classic its just you compare his new work with his old so much you dont appreciate the quality and Kingdom Come wasnt great but it has classic songs on there if you are a Jay Z fan you can appreciate every album separately
You must of never heard Vol.1 to say some shit like that.
When you say things like “The Blueprint # sucked”, its hard to take anything you say seriously.
No. All of the Blueprint # sucked, especially 2. There were a couple good tracks and maybe it could have been redeemable if he had made it a single disc instead of a double album filled with terrible hooks and beats with no shelf life. Tell me that you can sit there and listen to that album start to finish. You lie.
You’re entitled to your opinion. I’ve listened to all of The Blueprints’ from start to finish enough times to recite all of the lyrics.
like I said..I love them all but let’s be honest..no one is reciting the lyrics to “did it my way” even Jay hates that one. This album hasnt disapointed (not that i expected it too) and i’ll be in line come monday to get my copy
Agreed with you, Blueprint 2 was a let down for sure, however for what it was I didnt mind the 3rd. The 1st was decent for what it was, the black album was my favorite of the 2000’s
all the blueprint’s sucked? 2 should have been a single disk..Guru took the blame on that idea. but 1, a full disk for 2, and 3 are all good albums. I could listen to the blueprint 1 all day. You on some bullshit if you sayin that album sucked.
No. What I was saying was all of the sequels sucked. the original is a classic for sure. Jay has a problem with album fillers and that’s what the BP2 and 3 felt like. I’m about to download MCHG hoping it’s as dope as i want it to be.
Ok i’ll admit kingdom come and blueprint 3 sucked, he didnt make a good album when he came back from his ‘retirement’ except american gangster. Blue the black album pretty much redefined the genre and pretty much every single album he made before that was awesome apart from his collabrative work
Vol 1 sucked? are you serious???
A Million and One, City is Mine, Imaginary Players, Streets is Watching, Where I’m From, Friend or Foe 98, Lucky Me, You must Love Me, Rap Game/Cravk Game, Who You Wit II, Real Niggas do Real Things, Face Off…. You Thing THOSE songs sucked?
The only Songs I didn’t Care for was “I know what Girls Like” and “Sunshine”…thats because they were out of place on the album….you gotta be kidding me. Vol 1 was a Crazy Album.
Thats 12 out of 14 Songs that bang on that album….you’re buggin.
Blasphemous
Have to disagree. Ok, some of the albums as a whole were’nt that good, yes, but Blueprint 3 had AMAZING records. Kigdome Come wasn’t the GOAT album, but it was good.
you smoking dope thats all i gotta say
In my opinion Jay-z managed to generate more hype for his album than J.Cole + Mac Miller + Kanye combined, and had Samsung pick up the tab. Probably one of the smarter marketing campaigns I’ve seen for a while, also all of the promo content is super well done and intriguing.
One of the smarter marketing campaings in this game because none of this campaings are near close of what Columbia did with Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories.
So lets hope that hype doesnt equal crap this time
And that album was BY FAR the worst Daft Punk Album ever made. Worse than Alive 1997, which was not a great live album. I own all albums except that one. Music > Marketing.
shut up. we get it
Willing to bet Macs new album will be better than Jays…. Macs latest is the greatest thing he has ever put out in his career, Jay’s quality been steady declining over the years IMO.
idiot
nigga youre fucking stupid
well there are a new young crowd of people and they aint trying to list to rappers damn near in their 50s.. im just saying when niggas in the 90s were hyped bout jay-z..there were older people like u saying ” whats wrong with our generation where jaz-z is more hyped than Marvin Gaye”.. just saying times change get over it ..
Haha that is some bs. I like jay z because he is real hip hop and real hip hop is still being produced with the old dudes formulas….Joey bada$$, Kendrick Lamar, action Bronson, schoolboy q. Real hip hop is ageless. Put on a big L record and tell me that shit isn’t still ridiculous 10 plus years after his death. Mac miller will never reach the level of a jay z. Haha 500+ mil in the bank. Case closed.
have you listened to macs album though? it was actually really really good, much better than yeezus. i’m pumped to listen to magna carta holy grail though
Hey okay… I’ve listened to parts of Magna Carta Holy Grail and it seems great, but let’s not knock everyone else. Mac’s Album was fantastic and my man J.Cole, his was even better…
Jay’s gone way downhill since the Black Album, though… Blueprint 3 was okay (though not really a Blueprint album), but the others have been pretty weak. I’m less excited for new Jay Z stuff over the last 10 years or so. And to answer your question, Kingdom Come is when a Jay Z album seriously disappointed.
Even though “The Blueprint 3” and “American Gangster” were awful IMO, I still have hope for Jay. It’s no coincidence that he and ‘Ye both got Rick Rubin on their albums, and “Yeezus” was so tight that I can’t wait for this one to drop
Rubin didn’t work on MCHG. http://pitchfork.com/news/51386-rick-rubin-was-just-a-prop-in-the-promotional-videos-for-jay-zs-album/
I loved American Gangster, but it seems to divide a lot of people. Blueprint 3 had a very solid first half, and then took a nosedive after “On To The Next One”.
Beat & production-wise, Yeezus was outstanding. But those were the worst lyrics of Kanye’s career, by far. Cringe inducing lyrics.
the beats were terrible you idiot. don’t force yourself to like them because Kanye is cool to like.
Such intelligent discourse. Next you’ll be able to sit at the adult table.
July 4th is symbolic to the title of the album magna carta
How so?
The Declaration of Independence is basically the American Magna Carta.

I wish the site sent push alerts to android phones when albums have leaked. Bummer.That Leak alert at the top doesnt alert you instantly.
seems a great tracklist -i hope this will be at least good as the last Kanye west gem. I wish jay-z will be dark.
Lame overrated bullshit. Tech N9ne and Wrekonize new album out soon and not enough people are giving a shit
I agree it’s a bit lame they don’t get enough credit. But Tech isn’t mainstream so people don’t know about him too much. I haven’t even heard of Wrekonize, dude has like 1 album lol. But Jay is far from overrated. He’s one of the best Hip Hop artists of all time. Besides, both of those guys albums are on the Hip Hop front page, what more do you want? lol
Okay, I agree with you there. There are just a lot of underground rappers who are better and it makes me sad. Wrekonize has been around for a while. He’s released plenty of solo mixtapes and has albums with ¡Mayday! He just released his debut album with Strange and is pretty incredible if I may say so myself
You mean there are alot of underground rappers who are good not who are better. A lot of people just don’t understand Jay-Z lyrics so they discredit him sometimes.
Exactly this. Tech and Wrek are beasts. I’ve preordered both their albums.
Pretty exited for this, he’s gotta come hard after the release of Yeezus
some cats are saying it leaked on 8leak.com but im scared to open the link til i hear others doing it haha
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130627165448AA2xGCK
i went to site but dont see any link, did you?
No link either.It’s fake
some cats are already claiming it leaked on 8leak.com,
dont want to click the link til i get confirmation that others know its legit haha
It still hasn’t leaked. As soon as it’s available to android users through the app on the 4th, it’ll instantly appear online.
They are lying, just trying to get people to the site. It hasn’t leaked yet.
Yeezus was so sick yo, this will be a one-two knockout
I heard it did leak so I checked here first and it says it hasn’t. Gunna keep searching if I find the leak I’ll post
Why has, has it leaked stop the countdown for Jay Z Magna Carta. Why no more updates? Just curious
