Of Jay-Z’s most recent record, 4:44, Rolling Stone wrote, "[it’s] a stunning, raw and mature apology that's as much an ode to partnership and family as it is an example of how vulnerability can make for truly excellent art." The record quickly made headlines for the Jay’s acknowledgement that he had cheated on his wife, Beyonce, which she originally alleged on her album Lemonade. On other tracks, he explores racial inequality, stereotypes, and oppression. Several songs on the album also included acclaimed videos, such as the shocking cartoon presentation of The Life of O.J. In addition to debuting at #1 in the United States, 4:44 also picked up more Grammy nominations than any other album in 2017 (tied with Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars), including Album of The Year, Record of The Year and Song of The Year.
