Title/Headline Goes Here
Jay-Z’s final hurrah, his disc “The Black Album,” will go against the grain in that it will hit the streets on a Friday. Traditionally, albums are released on Tuesdays, but the Jigga figures he’ll go out on a different note. “The Black Album” will be in stores on November 28.
"We wanted to try something different," says Def Jam/Def Soul president Kevin Liles. "Everything [related to the project] is black, so we figured, 'Why don't we put it out on Black Friday?' It's one of the biggest selling days of the year, and it's the day after Thanksgiving. So it's Jay's way of saying 'thank you' to fans for them giving him so much," Billboard reports.
A Friday release isn’t the only thing the rapper has in store for fans. The disc will also feature tie-ins with an all-black version of Jay-Z’s S. Carter sneakers by Reebok, the release of his autobiography “The Black Book,” and his tour, which kicks off Nov. 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
So far, surprisingly, the disc itself has been kept under wraps. The rapper initially mentioned that the album would feature a plethora of producers, but who those producers are is still hush-hush. After the release, promotion, and tour, of this – his last album, Jay-Z intends on getting down to business and focusing on developing new artists, expanding his clothing line, and working on movies.
