Jay Z Is Deep in Album Mode According to Swizz Beatz

in MusicWords By Stephanie Smith-Strickland

When it comes to his relationship with longtime collaborator Jay Z, Swizz Beatz is the friend who can't keep a secret, and that's a great thing for all of us. On Thursday evening the producer and art enthusiast took to Instagram to post a picture with Hov, captioning the candid shot, "They don't even know what's about to happen...Album ModeZone."

Fans took the caption as confirmation that Jay Z was indeed working on a follow up to his 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, which released in 2013. Recently, the Brooklyn native has indeed been dipping his toes back into the music pond, appearing on Frank Oceans "Biking," among other things.

Atlanta-based producer Zaytoven also hinted that he'd been cooking in the studio with Jay Z late last year, posting an Instagram photo titled "JAYTOVEN." Maybe the signs are pointing to the musical return of Shawn Carter...
