Ever since Beyoncé put her marriage with Jay Z front and center on April's Lemonade, there has been a growing expectation that Jay will be releasing a new album of his own, perhaps providing a contrasting perspective on his high-profile relationship. Add to it that Hov has sprung up on such songs as "Drug Dealers Anonymous" and "I Got the Keys" and in July, Jermaine Dupri said  “I know the name of Hov’s new album. It might be done” and it seems a near certainty that new music is on the way.

As for what that new music sounds like, Vic Mensa recently spoke to Rap-Up about what it's like spending time with Jay and Bey, and provided a little insight on the yet to be released recordings.

"They’re just smart people, really good people. That’s something I find as I meet more people in this industry: some of the top dogs are the kindest and in a sense most humble." he said of his time with the two. "Beyoncé has that queen personality where she makes people feel comfortable. Well, I mean, she probably makes people feel mad uncomfortable because they’re super fans, but she’s super cool to people that I’ve seen her interact with and she always has been really nice to me. As far as music, all I can say is that Beyoncé’s tour and her album are amazing. I’ve heard a little bit of some Hov shit and it’s fresh as fuck, but I can’t say anything about anything else.

Jay Z's last release, Magna Carta Holy Grail, dropped in July of 2013 with advertising and exclusive tie-ins to Samsung. With Tidal now a fully developed force in the music streaming game, any new album is sure to premiere there, though how Jay might scale the release up any further remains to be seen.
