is the twelfth studio album by American rapper Jay-Z, first released for free as a digital download for Samsung customers via the Jay-Z Magna Carta app on July 4, 2013. It was released for retail sale on July 8, 2013 by Roc Nation, Roc-A-Fella, and Universal Music Distribution, as well as the final release by Roc-A-Fella before the label was shuttered. The album features guest appearances by Justin Timberlake, Nas, Rick Ross, Frank Ocean and Beyoncé.
debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 528,000 copies in its first week, making it Jay-Z's 13th consecutive studio album to top the chart. On September 2, 2013, it was announced that the album was certified double platinum by the RIAA, for shipments of two million copies. At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, the album was nominated in six categories, winning the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake.
Released in 2013, Magna Carta... Holy Grail finds Jay in the throes of middle-aged success: He’s a parent now (a life he details on “JAY Z Blue”), and has opened his portfolio to the worlds of art and high fashion (as evidenced on “Picasso Baby” and “Tom Ford”). At times, the spatter of makes and models on Magna Carta... Holy Grail is so dense, it sounds like he’s reading a barcode (“BBC”). But you also sense him riding the thrill of being a Black man in conventionally white spaces—not just the boardroom, but the auction house, the Hamptons.
And while this is an album that celebrates the lush life, Jay’s got too much soul to forget where he came from. The history that once stopped with Biggie and the Marcy Projects now leads back to slave ships (“Oceans”) and to the diamonds that once symbolized his wealth—but that now symbolize the African soil from which they were stolen (“Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit”).
