Download of the Week: "Magna Carta... Holy Grail"

In Jay-Z’s 12th studio album, “Magna Carta…Holy Grail,” the iconic MC explores his role as a new father to our own American princess, Blue Ivy Carter. In his best track, “JAY Z Blue,” the gritty hip-hop star raps candidly about Blue and about his own chaotic relationship with his parents. “Baby need pampers/daddy need at least three weeks in the Hamptons” — just try imaging Jay-Z rapping those lines in “The Blueprint.” Throughout “JAY Z Blue,” lyrical tributes to Jay-Z’s mentor Biggie Smalls appear. The song itself is eerily repetitive and the lyrical vulnerability refreshing, showing a fresh stride to the legend of Jay.
