Today JAY-Z releases his 13th studio album4:44. Being the business man that is Shawn Carter, you could've guaranteed that this was going to be a TIDAL exclusive. I'm a longtime Spotify subscriber and I didn't think twice about activating a tidal subscription just for this JAY-Z album. Once I activated my new subscription it made me think of why do we go out of our way for certain people even when it inconveniences us and I thought of two reasons.

I. LOVE
Not only do I regard JAY-Z as the greatest rapper of all time, I look at him as a guide for pivotal moments in my life. After hearing the snippets I knew JAY-Z was going in a direction that was much needed in today's climate, he was on the route to deep wisdom and deliberate introspection. Our love for our family and friends makes us go the extra mile because of the role and title they hold in our lives. That love is enough to make us do just about anything.
II. TRUST
I'm such an avid listener of JAY-Z and I love all his albums. I even defended the album people call his weakest album (KINGDOM COME) as a stand out in his catalog. I knew anytime HOV announces a new album I would be in for a treat and more importantly he would meet my expectations! When we go out on a limb for someone more often than not we realize we would do the same. Also we believe that our expectation would be met in any scenario we go out of our way for.
Paying an extra 12.99 seems like a blimp on the radar for me because it is a chance to hear the greatest rapper express hisself in the most freest form. Going the extra mile for loved ones is second nature because that's what you do when they bear a name that's worth the inconvenience .
Probably Jay-Z’s most underrated and unappreciated album ever released, Kingdom Come may be his most lyrical entry because Jigga was in a total different state of life when the album released.
Kingdom Come is based off the DC storyline (entitled the same as the album), When Superman and the other heroes step away and all the younger heroes are ruining the state of the world, which causes the old heroes to return to set the world where it was. Much like the comic story, When Jay-Z stepped away it’s like hip hop was going away and couldn’t survive without the presence of Jay-Z or so he felt.
Also, the album have a continuing theme of Maturity, as Jay-Z speaks on how he moved on from his younger tactics and see the world from a greater perspective.
Standout Tracks:
1. The Prelude
2. Beach Chair ft. Chris Martin
3. Lost Ones ft. Chrisette Michele

DESTINED TO MAKE THIS JOINT ALBUM, JAY-Z & R. KELLY WAS ALREADY UNTOUCHABLE AT THIS TIME SO COMING TOGETHER MADE THEM INVINCIBLE(UNTIL THEY GOT FED UP WITH EACH OTHER). IF YOU NEVER CHECK THIS ALBUM OUT BEFORE, YOU SHOULD DO IT NOW.
