More new Hov is on the way! Universal Music confirms today (July 6) that physical copies of JAY-Z‘s latest album 4:44 will have three additional bonus tracks for fans to fawn over when released.
Back when 4:44 dropped last Friday, there were murmurs that the physical copies would have bonus tracks. Now the revised tracklist has been revealed. These three new tracks are titled “Adnis,” “Blue’s Freestyle/We Family,” and “ManyFacedGod.” That last one boasts a feature from British R&B singer James Blake.
It was producer No I.D. that promised us additional music was coming shortly after 4:44 dropped on Tidal last week. “There’s three more songs that are coming out as bonuses,” the Chicago producer told Rolling Stone in an interview. “James Blake came in and joined into the process. There’s more coming shortly that’s equally as revealing.” Young Guru, who recorded the whole album, also said the track “Adnis,” which was used in the promo visuals before the LP dropped, would be one of the songs included on the physical version. So the only aspect that remains to be seen (or heard) is track 12, “Blue’s Freestyle/We Family.” With a title like that, fans are guessing the song is a posse cut from Jay, Bey and their first-born daughter Blue Ivy.
Even without the three new tracks, 4:44 is already doing numbers. The album has been certified platinum in less than a week even though it was illegally downloaded nearly a million times. How did Jay do it? He got Sprint to buy a million copies, the same way Samsung “bought” a million copies of Magna Carta Holy Grail four years ago.
4:44 will be available on CD via Amazon starting Friday, July 7.

My review
Jay-Z’s: The Tidal Next Time
Shawn Carter’s Examination of Wealth, Race, and Self.
For black America needs a politics whose first mission isn’t the reinforcement of the idea of black America; and a discourse of race that isn’t centrally concerned with preserving the idea of race and racial unanimity. We need something we don’t yet have: a way of speaking about black poverty that doesn’t falsify the reality of black advancement; a way of speaking about black advancement that doesn’t distort the enduring realities of black poverty.
–Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Shawn Carter is the most singularly successful individual in Hip Hop history. He is the poster child for the hustler who masquerades as a rapper. A pen scripting life to the realities of the street corner. A voice adding melody to the symphony of the slums. A salve which eases the pain of countless stick up kids and dealers whose existence is filled with nothing more than the mission to experience another sunrise. Shawn Carter is the ghetto’s Jesus. A black man who dared call himself “Jay-Hova” (Hov for short) and, having proven his lyrical prowess so great that such blasphemy was universally accepted. He is corporate America’s go-to taste maker for fashion, liquor, and product placement. He is a conglomerate unto himself. He is husband to the most famous living entertainer. He is a new father to the most fawned over twins this side of the Olsens. He is, with respect to Dos Equis, the most interesting man in the world.
And such is the potential of all black men who have proven themselves unique, talented, and with the capacity to crossover. Moreover, Jay-Z represents the rare black artist who has crossed into mainstream popularity while retaining virtually all of his urban credibility. In this sense, Jay-Z is the embodiment of everything black men strive to attain. The respect of the larger black populace, the admiration of the white gatekeepers who hold the keys to financial immortality, and the hearts of the very project street corners from whence he was birthed. This is not to suggest that there haven’t been hardships along the way, it’s just that any perceived adversity seems so easily conquerable that it is hard to imagine someone of Jay-Z’s stature in any state of real distress. Which is why his latest studio album, his 13th overall; is such a stunning revelation.
