Here’s What Roc Nation Said About New Jay-Z Album Rumors
The statement came after Ray Daniels speculated that Hov's upcoming LP was "completely done."
Roc Nation dismissed speculation surrounding a potential new Jay-Z album. Following music executive Ray Daniels' assertion that Hov's next LP is "completely done" on his podcast, the label unequivocally denied the claims. "Album done" was branded as "Fake news" by Roc Nation on their Instagram Story on Monday (August 10). Daniels' statements were made on a recent episode of the Ray Daniels Presents podcast.
Daniels, who has had past interactions with Roc-A-Fella, expressed certainty about the album's completion, suggesting that it might see the light of day if a partnership is struck. However, without any partnership, the album remains unreleased. Fans had been eagerly anticipating Jay-Z's first solo album since 2017, with the rapper returning to the stage this year after performing at Roots Picnic and three shows at Yankee Stadium.
Jay-Z's 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt is marked by a series of performances across Europe and the US in 2023. In a March interview with GQ, Jay hinted at his creative process, stating that he aims to create an album that is true to his feelings and authentic, rather than trying to appeal to others. He emphasized the importance of making a timeless piece that he genuinely loves.
Despite his recent return with a new verse on Beyoncé's "Morning Dew (Donk) Remix Pack," Jay-Z remains tight-lipped about any potential new album, as confirmed by Roc Nation.
