JAY-Z has announced a huge North American tour for 2017 in support of his new album '4.44'.

The 31-year-old rapper will start off the run of dates on October 27 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California and will conclude with a show at The Forum in Los Angeles on December 21.

Live Nation are promoting the tour after the 'Holy Grail' hitmaker inked a 10-year, $200 million touring deal with them in May.

The '99 Problems' hitmaker's LP was made available to stream on TIDAL last week, but now it has been released more broadly, it has been revealed a bonus track on the record called 'Blue's Freestyle/ We Family' features rhymes from their little girl.

Though some of the tot's lyrics are hard to understand, they include "boom shakalaka" and "never seen a ceiling in my whole life".

While the track marks the first time Blue Ivy has shown off her rap skills, she has featured on a record before.

In 2012, Jay - whose real name is Shawn Carter - sampled her crying on a track called 'Glory', and she also featured on her mother Beyonce's single 'Blue'.

Jay's tour announcement comes a month after the birth of his and Beyonce's twins Rumi and Sir Carter.
