Jay-Z Brings ‘4:44’ Bonus Tracks to Streaming Services on Album’s 9th Anniversary
The songs featuring his daughter Blue Ivy and James Blake were previously exclusive to Tidal.
Jay-Z is seen before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group E match between Cote D'Ivoire and Ecuador at Philadelphia Stadium on June 14, 2026, in Philadelphia.
With 4:44 celebrating its ninth anniversary on Tuesday (June 30), Jay-Z surprised fans by making three bonus tracks from the album available on all streaming platforms.
The trio of songs — which feature collaborations with James Blake and Hov’s daughter Blue Ivy — were previously available on Tidal. Produced by James Blake, “Adnis” serves as an open letter to Jay’s absent father (Adnis Reeves Jr.), who passed away from liver failure in 2003.
Blue Ivy assists on “Blue’s Freestyle / We Family” and Blake returns for “ManyFacedGod,” which finds Jay addressing his union with Beyoncé, a prominent theme across 4:44.
Jay-Z released 4:44 on vinyl for the first time packaged as part of the JAŸ-Z: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Crate, which contains Hov’s 13 solo studio LPs and is available for $1,500 on Roc Nation’s website.
4:44 still serves as Jay’s most recent studio solo album to date, and arrived in June 2017. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 262,000 total album-equivalent units earned.
Jay-Z has had plenty of career accolades to celebrate. He was outside last week for the pair of pop-up activations launched by Roc Nation in Brooklyn and Manhattan commemorating the 30th anniversary of his seminal debut, Reasonable Doubt.
The Brooklyn rap deity returns to the stage for the main event with a trifecta of Yankee Stadium shows on July 10 through July 12. HBO also announced plans for a Jay-Z docuseries. The Rick Rubin-directed Jay-Z in 8 is set to arrive on this fall.
