Jay-Z’s ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ tracklist revealed via scavenger hunt

Jay-Z made his fans work to uncover the details of his new album.

The rapper revealed the official tracklisting of his forthcoming set “Magna Carta Holy Grail” via a viral scavenger hunt on Saturday, which saw his fans tracking down the locations of thirteen black binders containing the track names that were hidden in different spots around his native Brooklyn.

Included in each of the binders were two blacked-out pages in addition to the thirteen containing the track names, suggesting the inclusion of some secret bonus content on the album.

As mentioned by Vibe, Jay-Z utilized a similar scavenger hunt marketing scheme for his 2011 novel “Decoded,” in which different pages from the book were hidden in various cities.

“Magna Carta Holy Grail” is the subject of an unprecedented marketing deal with Samsung in which the first million copies of the album will be made available for free via an app available only to Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 and Galaxy Note users. Last week Billboard decided not to count sales of the million albums pre-purchased by Samsung on their Billboard 200 chart, despite appeals from Jay-Z and his camp. The album will be available for download via the app on July 4 and to everyone on July 7.

Jay-Z is embarking on his “Legends of the Summer” concert tour with Justin Timberlake beginning next month. You can get a full list of tour dates further down.
