You might have heard of a little indie release called ‘4:44‘, by an up-and-coming hip-hop unknown Jay Z.
Oh, you have?
Yeah, it’s only the most-anticipated record of 2017 – and more intriguingly, it appears (according to the Beyhive) to address the accusations of infidelity Beyoncé brought to light in her album ‘Lemonade‘ last year.
People are all the hell over this marital conflict writ large (including at The Guardian), dissecting lyrics, comparing content side by side, and spilling a whole lot of tea all over the damn place

I feel honored to be apart of an era where Beyonce and Jay-Z can drop albums about their lives, and teach life lessons in the process. #444

This is the kind of big-ticket emotional modelling I’m here for. Truly, we’re blessed.
