Nine years after JAY-Z released 4:44, the album’s full picture is finally easier for fans to hear. To mark the anniversary of his acclaimed 2017 project, JAY-Z has added three long-sought bonus tracks to major streaming platforms, expanding the album beyond its original digital edition and giving listeners broader access to songs that were once tied to physical copies and Tidal exclusivity.

The newly available tracks — “Adnis,” “Blue’s Freestyle / We Family,” and “MaNyfaCedGod” featuring James Blake — are not throwaway extras. They deepen the emotional architecture of 4:44, an album that already stands as one of the most personal, reflective, and legacy-minded releases in JAY-Z’s catalog. For longtime fans, this is more than a minor catalog update. It is a meaningful restoration of an important chapter in modern hip-hop history.

Originally released on June 30, 2017, 4:44 arrived at a moment when JAY-Z had already accomplished nearly everything a rapper, entrepreneur, and cultural architect could accomplish. Yet instead of leaning on victory laps, stadium-sized hooks, or easy nostalgia, he delivered something sharper and more vulnerable: a compact, sample-rich album about accountability, family, ownership, generational wealth, marriage, race, legacy, and adulthood.

Now, with the bonus tracks widely available, 4:44 feels even more complete.
