“The most crafty and evasive MC lays bare his complicated life. This late-career gem is personal and diamond-sharp, confronting the failings and legacy of Shawn Carter and America.”
“Mr. Carter kills his ego and spills the beans on his most intimate album yet.”
“Our take on the 13th solo album from the hip-hop veteran”
“With 4:44, Jay-Z reaches the halfway point on the road to redemption”
“Such a mature and introspective album from JAY-Z that works brilliantly. From his upbringing, parents, his relationship, no stone is unturned not to mention the incredible production and performances from JAY-Z as well. This album keeps you engaged from minute one and doesn’t overstay its welcome with a runtime of 46 minutes. Top songs are ‘The Story of O.J.’ ‘Smile’ ft Gloria Carter ‘4:44’ ‘Family Feud’ ft Beyoncé ‘Marcy Me’”
“The most important song and title being Beyoncé’s favorite number.”
