In the midst of the generally ecstatic response to Jay Z's new album 4:44, eagle-eyed fans had one question: Where's "Adnis"?
In the rollout of the project, Jay let out a snippet of a song called "Adnis," named after his late father. While Adnis Reeves has been a frequent subject in his son's rhymes, the confessional nature of the "Adnis" excerpt left fans eager to hear more. Except when 4:44 came out, "Adnis" was nowhere to be found.
On Friday night, Jay's longtime engineer Gimel "Young Guru" Keaton, who recorded every song on the album, shared the song's fate: it will appear on physical copies of the album. He also teased the possibility of other unreleased tracks showing up then.
