US hip hop legend Jay Z has revealed the artwork to his latest album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ next to the Magna Carta in Salisbury Cathedral.
Talking about Jay Z revealing his new album artwork at Salisbury Cathedral, The Dean of Salisbury Reverend, June Osborne, said: “We are delighted that Jay-Z has chosen Salisbury Cathedral, home to the finest of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta, as the location for the global premiere of his artwork for ‘Magna Carta… Holy Grail’. We know how important Magna Carta, and all it represents, is to people across the globe. The ideals it embodies are still relevant today. Jay-Z, through his album, is creating a huge awareness of this historic document and its modern significance to a huge audience in the run up to its 800th anniversary in 2015. We hope to welcome many of his fans here this summer to see the artwork in the Chapter House alongside our Magna Carta.”
Jay Z revealed details of his new album during a Samsung TV advert and will officially be released tomorrow (July 4th) on Jay-Z’s Samsung app and is officially released on July 8th on Roc Nation Records and Universal Records. You can see the TV advert below:
