Roc Nation shut down rumors of a Jay-Z album being on the horizon. Following music executive Ray Daniels’ comments claiming Hov’s next LP is “completely done,” the Roc quieted all conversation around the project.
“‘Album done’ … Fake news,” Roc Nation wrote in a post to the company’s Instagram Story on Monday (Aug. 10).
The Roc appeared to be responding to Ray Daniels’ claims made on a recent episode of the producer’s Ray Daniels Presents podcast.
“His album is done,” Daniels confidently stated of Hov’s 4:44 follow-up. “It’s completely done. We might get it if somebody partners with him. If nobody partners with him, it’s not coming. He is not playing about his brand. Somebody called and confirmed it for me.”
While Daniels never worked for Roc-A-Fella, he’s held prominent executive positions at Warner, Universal, Interscope and Epic Records throughout his career. He previously had Roc-A-Fella co-founder Dame Dash and Roc affiliate Choke No Joke as guests on his The GAUDS Show.
Fans had been hopeful to receive Jay’s first solo album since 2017, with Jay back outside this year. The Brooklyn rap legend returned to the stage in May at Roots Picnic and then headlined three straight nights at Yankee Stadium in July.
Jay’s 30th anniversary of his Reasonable Doubt debut will continue with shows in London (Sept. 4-5), Paris (Sept. 10) and Los Angeles (Oct. 23-24) for the rest of the year.
During a March interview with GQ, where he declared 2026 to be “all offense,” Hov outlined what a possible album would look like for him. “Forget the landscape of music. I don’t know what I need to create currently that’s going to fulfill me and make me happy because that’s most important,” he said. “I know I just got to be honest about what I feel and where I am. Maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe I’m stopping myself from just creating.”
Jay went on: “Whatever it is, it just needs to be a true representation of how I feel. Trying to create something that people like is where I think a lot of artists get jammed up. And people can feel that because it’s not authentic. I just got to make something timeless that I really love and that’s really honest and true to who I am.”
Jay-Z delivered his first new verse since 2022 when he hopped on Beyoncé’s “Morning Dew (Donk) Remix Pack” earlier in August. Jay’s last solo album, 4:44, arrived in June 2017 and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 262,000 total album-equivalent units earned.
