Jay-Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' Release Impresses As Samsung Fans Get Early Listen

IT'S HERE

Jay-Z has delivered his "Magna Carta."

The 43-year-old rapper dropped his 12th solo studio album on Thursday morning, released in a partnership with Samsung. The mobile company pre-ordered one million copies of Jay-Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail" and distributed them to users of Samsung Galaxy products through an app.

The 16-track album features collaborations with Justin Timberlake, Rick Ross, Frank Ocean, Beyonce, Swizz Beats, Pharrell, Nas, and Timbaland. Teased in a series of videos, "Magna Carta Holy Grail" was announced just weeks before its release.

While some took issue with the amount of information the Samsung app required of users, early reactions to the album were largely positive. Scroll through below for listeners' takes on "Magna Carta Holy Grail."
