Already Platinum!

Shawn Corey Carter, professionally known as Jay-Z released his album and it was certified platinum.

Jay-Z appears on Roc-A-Fella Records and Roc Nation, LLC.

The Recording Industry Association of America which is the standard of entertainers and scorn of illegal downloaders has certified Magna Carta Holy Grail. Another notch on the belt.

Samsung and the media mogul have teamed up for the release.

The album features guest appearances by Rick Ross (Def Jam), Nas (Def Jam), Justin Timberlake (RCA), Beyonce Knowles (Sony Music Group), and Frank Ocean (Def Jam) among others.

Production on the album was primarily handled by Timbaland and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, while also featuring production by Boi-1da, Mike Will Made It, Hit-Boy, Mike Dean, No ID, The-Dream, Swizz Beatz, and Pharrell Williams among others.

Magna Carta... Holy Grail was met with mixed reviews from music critics upon its release. On the day of its physical release in the United States, the album was certified Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over 1,000,000 copies due to the unprecedented deal with Samsung.

Despite the hearsay, Jay-Z released another project and the public went right to it.

He went to official Twitter page to share thoughts with the fans.

Also this is the first album release from the media mogul that has limited play on urban and pop radio stations.

Kanye West (Roc-A-Fella/G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam) has released his album Yeezus with little promotion and radio play as well.

Both entertainers are reclusive and rarely give public interviews.

Why should he?

He's probably one of the richest rappers in American history. He's sealed his name in pop culture.

Mr. Carter is looking for his spot in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Hopefully this release will help secure a spot for him.
