Memphis Bleek says Jay-Z is working on new music.
Bleek hinted about the new music during his recent interview with Drink Champs with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
“I just was with him in Vegas … He just came out on the show, like, yo, my n***a, they went stupid,” Bleek said at the 41-minute mark in the video linked above, presumably talking about Hov’s performance at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour finale, where Destiny’s Child also made a surprise appearance.
“I said, ‘Listen, I know you working. Save me a verse.’ He’s like, ‘Alright, I got you.’ So if it happens, it happens,” he added.
A new Jay-Z solo studio album would be his first since 4:44 in 2017. So far, this is the longest stretch of time between albums in Hov’s discography.
In 2017, he teamed up with wife Beyoncé for their collab album Everything Is Love and embarked on their joint On The Run II Tour the following year.
Jay-Z’s last overall collaboration was on Pusha T’s 2022 track “Neck & Wrist,” produced by Pharrell Williams.
With Beyoncé’s rumored Act III rock album set to arrive in 2026 (the final installment of the trilogy that began with 2022’s Renaissance and last year’s Cowboy Carter) and Jay-Z’s thirteenth studio album presumably not far from the horizon, fans of the Carters have a lot to look forward to.
