It's out.

JAY-Z's -- note the return of the hyphen and the capitalization -- much-hyped, much-advertised new album 4:44 has been released as a Tidal exclusive, the rapper's first in four years.

The 10-track album leads with the cheekily named track "Kill Jay Z," which perhaps points to his recent re-hyphenation. There's also listed collaborations with Frank Ocean, Gloria Carter (JAY-Z's mother), and Damian Marley.

4:44 is reportedly only available to existing subscribers to Tidal, unless you're a Sprint user, according to The Verge.

So for those who haven't joined the service or don't have Sprint, legally you'll have to sit back and watch people react to it all.
