The new album, called "Magna Carta Holy Grail," will be free for the first 1 million android phone owners who download an app for the album. Those who do so will get the album on July 4, three days before its official release, according to a Sunday statement.
Samsung is a leader in the mobile phone market and has been steadily chipping away at Apple's share of the market with its Galaxy phones. The deal with Jay-Z is yet another example of how mobile companies are using music to lure new consumers.
Peep the commercial featuring Jay-Z, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Rick Rubin below:
7:30 PM PT: According to law enforcement, 2 Chainz was on board an outbound flight waiting to take off when TSA officials discovered the drugs in his checked luggage. He was subsequently removed from the aircraft before it departed, and placed under arrest.
4:43 PM PT: 2 Chainz has been booked on felony narcotics possession. Law enforcement sources tell us ... Chainz was in possession of Promethazine -- one of the 2 main ingredients in sizzurp. He also had pot, but less than an ounce.
2 Chainz was just arrested at LAX ... after cops allegedly found weed on the "I'm Different" rapper as he was trying to board an airplane, TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us ... 35-year-old 2 Chainz is currently being booked for possession of marijuana after he was caught with pot in Terminal 5.
Just yesterday, 2 Chainz -- real name Tauheed Epps -- was tweeting about how impressed he was with the weed in San Francisco.
The Gangsta Grillz host is still pushing his latest album Quality Street Music, which dropped last October, and keeping busy with several projects including Young Jeezy and CTE's #Itsthaworld EP and traveling to South Africa.
Dram also revealed to VIBE that an EDM tape may be in the works. "You might catch me and David Guetta sometime soon, if itâs up to me," the DJ said. "Iâm about to go do a festival with Mark Ronson and A-Trak in London this summer...Iâm in a great space. People love the music that Iâve been putting out and the tapes that Iâve been doing. Iâm open to everything, most definitely."
Weezy gives Dedication 5 a shout out towards the end of the track. Not long ago, Mr. Thanksgiving took to Twitter to confirm plans to release the fifth installment of the mixtape series some time in the future.
"Yup. D5. Tunechi. Dram. YM. Stay tuned. But pleaaaase.... b patient," Drama said.
President of Young Money Mack Maine also gave life to the rumors after tweeting "D5."
Looks like fans of the "No Worries" rapper can expect new material. On the flip side, many found his last Dedication attempt to be abysmal. Here's to hoping that mixtape Weezy can revert back to form this time around.
