Jay-Z will release a new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," on July 4. The rapper has teamed up with Samsung to give the music to 1 million users of Galaxy mobile phones.
Reports suggest that the Korean company has paid $5 million for the content, although other media claim the deal could be worth as much as $20 million.
The video shows Jay-Z and his production team — including Rick Rubin, Timbaland, and Pharrell Williams from The Neptunes — at work in the studio developing the album, and features a Galaxy Tab being used.
"Magna Carta Holy Grail" will be available for free download on July 4, 12:01 a.m. EST, to the first one million Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy Note II users. Fans will be able to unlock the album on the phone's Magna Carta app.
The deal may also help Samsung’s Music Hub, a streaming music service available on Galaxy devices, compete with Apple’s iTunes Radio.
But one may ask: if Samsung bought 1 million copies of the album already, does that mean it's already platinum?
