‘4:44’ is the rapper’s fourth album. It’s already achieved platinum status despite not being physically on sale.
Earlier this week (July 12), New York rapper Joey Bada$$ said that he inspired the new album. He shared his thoughts on the record, which directly responds to Beyoncé‘s ‘Lemonade‘ album, in a new interview.
