Rapper Jaz-Z has revealed that his upcoming new album will be free to one million fans.

His twelfth album entitled Magna Carta Holy Grail is due to be released in July and the way that fans will be able to get their hands on the album is closely related to the star’s recent $20 million contract with Samsung Mobile.

At the time of the deal, Jay-Z said that he would “want to develop some kind of new music-streaming service to promote his acts and music on mobile devices.”

A recent Samsung Galaxy advert that was aired in the US showed Jay-Z appearing with many of the people he worked with to produce the new album including Timbaland and Pharrell Williams.

In it, Jay-Z announced to them: “We need to write new rules” and it was later revealed that from 24th June, Samsung users will be able to download an app that will allow the first million people who use it to access the album for free.

Jay-Z has revealed that the songs on Magna Carta Holy Grail are very personal to him saying: "The album is about, like this duality of how do you navigate through this whole thing, through success, through failures, through all this and remain yourself.”
