The Hov enlists his wife Beyonce Knowles and his pal Justin Timberlake in some of the tracks off his upcoming album 'Magna Carta... Holy Grail'.

AceShowbiz -

With just a few days to go before the July 4 release date of his new studio album "Magna Carta... Holy Grail", Roc Nation mogul Jay-Z is showing no signs of slowing down in drumming up interest for his new "rule-defining" album. And what better way to grab even more interest for his already much-talked about project than revealing that it includes an all-star track that features wife Beyonce Knowles.

That new song is "BBC", a veritable who's who of some high end and a few global brands that define the lifestyle of Hov and his celebrity crew. Apart from Beyonce, it features Jay-Z's pal Justin Timberlake, his team of record producers, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland and rapper Nas, with whom he once had a much-publicized feud which they already ended many years ago.

Another lyric sheet he has unveiled for the public to see is that of "Versus", which looks like a short one-verse tune with no chorus. It does pack a punch though, with words like "Your last sh*t ain't better / than my first @#$% / your best @#$% / ain't better than my worst @#$|percent|," slamming other so-called moguls and rap superstars that seem second-rate compared to the Hov.

Keeping in step with his recent Samsung commercial and "Magna Carta... Holy Grail" promo clip, Jay-Z drops a one-minute-plus video for his collaboration track with Frank Ocean entitled "Oceans". It unfolds in the same familiar huddle scene with producers Rick Rubin, Pharrell and Timbaland, where Jay-Z talks about the inspiration for the track, about the "duality" and irony of how the "oceans" that brought the African-Americans to America is the same place where they now celebrate the good life.
