Today is Jay-Z’s 50th birthday. Happy birthday, Jay-Z! And to celebrate, he’s giving his fans a present, putting his entire discography back on Spotify.
Jay-Z owns rival streaming service Tidal. And in April 2017, ahead of the release of 4:44, he pulled most of his music from Spotify, a big competitor. A few collaborations, like his albums with Linkin Park and oof, R. Kelly, remained.
This means you can now hear his most recent LP, 4:44, on Spotify alongside Watch The Throne, The Black Album, American Gangster, and more. Find Spotify’s big announcement on Twitter below.
Happy birthday, Hov 🎁
