This marks the second consecutive album Jay Z has provided free copies of. His 2013 album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, was made available for free as part of an exclusive partnership with Samsung to provide one million free copies of the album. The agreement caused the Recording Industry Association of America to change its gold and platinum certification rules allowing digital album certifications to be awarded upon release date, as opposed to a 30-day waiting period applicable to physical album releases. Though there are no guarantees as of yet, physical copies of 4:44 are available for pre-order on Amazon with a July 7 release date.
