The track appears to be a letter to the 47-year-old hip-hop legend's father filled with lyrics he's never brought up before.

He raps: "Letter to my dad that I never wrote/Speeches I prepared that I never spoke/Words on a paper that I never read/Prose is never penned, they stayed in my head (sic)"

The movie is reportedly set to be released through TIDAL only via a partnership with Sprint.

It comes after billboards with '4:44' were spotted around New York City earlier this month.

The '99 Problems' hitmaker's last studio album was 2013's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'.

The album couldn't come at a more fitting time with Jay welcoming twins into the world over the weekend with his wife Beyonce Knowles, 35, whom he also has five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with.

The 'Crazy in Love' singer's father Mathew Knowles confirmed the arrival of the power couple's newest additions to their brood on Sunday (18.06.17).

He posted a picture of a birthday note, which read: "Happy Birthday to the twins! Love, Granddad. (sic)"

And he captioned the snap: "They're here!#beyonce #twins #jayz #happybirthday (sic)"
