Jay-Z Teams Up with Samsung for New Album Release #MagnaCarta

 

Watch out Apple, Samsung is making big moves!

Samsung and entertainer/entrepreneur Jay-Z have joined forces in the release of Jay's new album Magna Carta Holy Grail. Jay-Z built anticipation in fans by airing a commercial during Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs showing off his collaboration with Samsung (see video below). The 3-minute commercial exposed fans to a brainstorming session with musical masterminds Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.

Last week, Hov added to the excitement releasing the track list of his newest album, sending the viral world into a tizzy (listed below) . The album will be available for FREE for the first 1 Million Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy Note II users. The specially designed app will be made available for fans today. Rumor has it that Samsung paid $5 a piece for the million copies distributed to users.

 As a Samsung user, you will have the privilege of getting the album 3 whole days before the rest of the world, leaving non-Samsung/Jay-Z fans in the agony of waiting 72 hours (or of course, hope for a leak from a generous Galaxy user). Not sure about you, but as an iPhone user, kinda makes me want to run out and make a switch...

Samsung, mission accomplished.
