Jay Z, who reportedly welcomed twins this weekend, has not released an album since 2013. But the title 4:44 has been thoroughly dissected online, with some hinting that it will be a concept album or collaboration with Beyoncé. Another clip posted on Sunday features Mahershala Ali and Danny Glover, and audio from a potential new song.

Jay Z also recently announced he’s taking on the bail industry. Tidal and Sprint’s partnership will support 1Million Project, which aims to give low-income high school students without internet access the means to close the “homework gap.”
