A few minutes before midnight on Thursday, the legendary rapper released his new album, 4:44, on his streaming service TIDAL. The 35-minute album features 10 tracks; on the titular “4:44,” Jay gets personal about his relationship with wife Beyoncé, apologizes for womanizing, references a series of miscarriages, and says his children changed his perspective. On another track, “Kill Jay Z,” the rapper seems to take issue with his protégé Kanye West.
The album prompted a wide array of reactions on social media; the project had been highly anticipated since Beyoncé’s revealing and Grammy-winning album Lemonade.
Artists such as Jae Millz have praised JAY-Z’s return. Millz wrote on Twitter, “YOU RAPPERS ABOUT TO HAVE TO START RAPPING AGAIN!!!! WORD TO GLORIA CARTER’S SON.”
The Rap Year Book author Shea Serrano also championed 4:44, writing, “Jay really made an I’m 47 Years Old And A Dad and Husband And I’ve Made Some Mistakes But Also Learned A Lot of S— rap album and it’s great.”
Kevin Hart and DJ Khaled also weighed in. See more reactions below.

I'm still digesting the production. Tomorrow I'll absorb the lyrics. Jay is vunerable here, and that's all I ever wanted from him musically.

Jay Z dissing Kanye is like you're role model telling you that you aren't making them proud. This is deep.
