Jay-Z is delivering new tracks for the January 2024 film. Here’s all the information.
After being absent from social media and the media landscape for several years, Jay-Z announced new music on Instagram on Wednesday (August 30). A single post can now be found on his Instagram profile – the new trailer video for the film “The Book of Clarence”, which is due to be released in January 2024.
The caption explains that the soundtrack will feature new music by Jay-Z. The rapper is also one of the producers of the film.
Under the video, fans commented on Jay-Z’s return to the platform, including the words: “I’ll give him a week and then he’s gone again”. Or: “Welcome back! Are you staying with us longer this time?”
The Book of Clarence starring Jay Z
The film is an American epic biblical comedy written and directed by Jeymes Samuel. The work is supposed to tell the story of Clarence from Jerusalem, who wants to use Messiah’s fame for his own purposes, but completely misses the mark and has to find himself again.
Jay-Z’s recent releases
Jay-Z’s still current album 4:44 was released in 2017. His most recently released single is 2021’s What It Feels Like, a collaboration with the murdered Nipsey Hussle, for the soundtrack of the 2021 film Judas And The Black Messiah.
In 2022, Jay-Z had a long verse on DJ Khaled’s “God Did,” which was also nicknamed “HOV DID” on the musician’s Spotify account. He can also be heard on Pusha T’s “Neck & Wrist”.
In 2021, the artist also produced Netflix western The Harder They Fall — and he had a few songs on the soundtrack.
