Jay Z – Magna Carta…Holy Grail Album Review

With all the talk of Beyonce popping out Blue Ivy and Jay Z becoming a dad, some people may have overlooked the fact that he also made something else this year. The release of his 12^th studio album, grandiosely named, Magna Carta…Holy Grail has been pinned as one of the hip-hop events of 2013. So does it live up to the hype?

One aspect of the album that is hard not to notice, right from the beginning, is Jay Z’s willingness to collaborate with an array of other megastars from the pop and hip hop music world. In fact, the album begins with the soulful voice of Justin Timberlake. The eager Jay Z fan has to wait around 1 minute and 30 seconds into the first track to hear Jay Z at all! Other tracks feature artists such as Rick Ross, Frank Ocean and, of course, Shawn Carter’s baby-mama herself, Beyoncé.
