The three songs — including collaborations with James Blake and Blue Ivy Carter — were previously only on Tidal
Jay-Z has finally made his three bonus tracks from 4:44 available on all streaming services.
Roc Nation confirmed the wide release of the tracks on Instagram Tuesday, exactly nine years since 4:44 first dropped. The three songs — “Adnis,” “Blue’s Freestyle / We Family,” featuring Jay’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter, and “ManyFacedGod” featuring James Blake — were previously available only on Tidal.
4:44 was released in 2017 and still stands as Jay-Z’s most recent solo album (though he and Beyoncé followed it up a year later with the collaborative LP, Everything Is Love). The album featured collaborations with Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, and Damian Marley, and earned rave reviews for Jay’s introspection and vulnerability, especially as he apologized for past infidelities.
The wide release of the 4:44 bonus tracks was also part of the ongoing “Jay-Z30” celebrations, which have been largely (but not exclusively) centered around the 30th anniversary of Jay’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt. The crux of “Jay-Z30” has been a string of shows Jay announced, including a recent headlining set at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, and two nights headlining Yankee Stadium in New York City on July 10 and 11. On night one, he’ll perform Reasonable Doubt in its entirety, while on night two, he’ll play all of The Blueprint to mark its 25th anniversary. Jay also has shows scheduled in Paris (Sept. 10) and Los Angeles (Oct. 23).
Additionally, Jay-Z announced a new collaboration with the Brooklyn Public Library, that included the release of limited edition library cards commemorating all 13 of Jay’s solo albums. He’s set to release an eight-part documentary, directed by Rick Rubin, later this year. And a pair of pop-up exhibits also just launched in New York City, offering a look at the latest 30 years of Jay-Z’s multi-faceted career.
“Being able to look back on everything and then being able to highlight it now,” Roc Nation president Chris Santini told Vibe. “Going through the archive and making it matter in the here and now by using what works now and seeing how well it translates. So that’s been really rewarding.”
