Jay Z Releases "Magna Carta" Video Featuring Justin Timberlake

posted in: Pop • Urban

Coming off one of the summer’s most successful tours, Jay Z has partnered once more with Justin Timberlake to release the official music video for HOV’s new single, “Magna Carta.”

Released with zero advance promotion on Thursday, August 30, Jay Z’s video for “Magna Carta” marks the second time he and Justin Timberlake have shared the small screen this year. Unlike “Suit & Tie,” however, the visuals for “Magna Carta” have a decidedly dark tone. Jay appears sequestered in a cavernous, dilapidated room, staring at stacks of grainy televisions, while Timberlake wanders through an abandoned mansion filled with well choreographed ghosts.

“Magna Carta” is the second video to be release from Jay Z in a month, following the debut of “Picasso Baby” on HBO. Jay is playing his cards close with future promotional plans, but rest assured we’ll update you as soon as new developments arise.
