On Friday Jay-Z dropped his new 4:44 album and the highly intimate and personal album, which is said to be a response to wife Beyoncé's revolutionary visual album Lemonade, is getting people talking.

Having only one producer on an album is a rarity these days in the rap world, but that's just what Jay did with his revealing album that delves into his highly publicized marriage, fatherhood, trauma and the black experience.
No. I.D. met up with New York Times writer Joe Coscarelli and got candid about the music man's orchestrated album that sampled Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone and the Fugees music, and also clarified some of the mysteries around this enigmatic new offering.
Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean.
