Just
when
we
thought
Hov
was
ready
to
reintroduce
himself
to
the
rap
game,
it
seems
like
chatter
about
a
new
Jay-Z
album
in
2024
was
much
ado
about
nothing.
Over
the
weekend,
social
media
was
buzzing
with
rumors
of
a
new
Jay-Z
album
after
video
director
Hidji
took
to
his
IG
stories
and
shared
a
picture
that
featured
a
clapperboard
that
had
the
production
titled
listed
as
“JAY
Z
–
2024
ALBUM.”
Naturally,
everyone
assumed
that
this
was
happening
and
Hov
would
return
with
some
new
work
in
this
new
year.
Unfortunately,
it
seems
like
it’s
not
meant
to
be
as
the
official
Roc
Nation
X
account
refuted
the
rumors
by
simply
replying,
“That’s
news
to
us”
to
the
post
circulating
on
social
media.
Well,
that
was
exciting
for
a
few
minutes.
It’s
been
six
years
since
Jay-Z
dropped
his
last
album,
4:44,
and
though
the
project
went
platinum
only
a
week
after
its
release,
Jay
hasn’t
dropped
any
new
full-length
projects
since.
In
an
attempt
to
make
up
for
his
absence
from
the
rap
game,
Jay
did
drop
a
verse
the
length
of
an
EP
on
DJ
Khaled’s
“God
Did”
but
his
day-ones
want
a
new
album
already.
Hopefully,
everyone
over
at
Roc
Nation
is
just
playing
dumb
and
Jay
does
indeed
have
a
project
on
the
way
in
2024,
but
it
seems
like
that
might
be
something
they’re
playing
close
to
the
chest
for
the
time
being
as
they’re
denying
any
knowledge
of
a
brand
new
joint
from
Hova
the
Gawd.
What
do
y’all
think?
Is
Jay-Z
dropping
a
new
album
this
year
and
keeping
it
secret?
Let
us
know
in
the
