Jay-Z has surprised fans by revealing details of a 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, due for release in less than three weeks’ time.

Jay-Z made the announcement during an advert break of the NBA Finals. In a three-minute promo video featuring Rick Rubin, Pharrell Williamsand Timbaland, he says: “The album is about this duality of how do you navigate your way through this whole thing, through success and through failures, and remain yourself?”

The hip-hop singer won’t be worrying to much about sales. According to the album’s website, Samsung has already snapped up a million copies of the record to give away free to the first one million Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 2 owners who download a special app. The app goes on sale from 24 June.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Samsung paid $5 for each album download, which means Jay-Z will be the first artist to have a platinum album before it’s been released.

The Boom Section Proudly Presents:

FOREST PARK ROCK FEST – June 15th – 1pm to 5pm

Four great local bands will play a FREE, outdoor show at the historic Forest Park Bandshell on June 15, 2013. We are producing this special live extravaganza and, of course, will be headlining the performances.

This is our biggest, most ambitious undertaking yet. It’s open to the public, with our hope that folks will come check out some free live music from local bands. So please spread the word to anyone, and everyone, who you think loves live music. The show will consist of very distinct sounds that span many generations: From classic, bluesy 70s-style rock, to Metal, to Alternative. A little something for every fan of rock.

All four bands hail from the 5 Boroughs and Long Island.

It’s a park, so you can bring your own food and drink! There is a picnic and BBQ area nearby, as well as a carousel. Get comfortable, bring friends and family, and let the music move you on a gorgeous summer day.

Please note that it is a NYC public park, so there is no alcohol or smoking allowed.

The Official Lineup

Daniel Tighe
Still The Vizitors
