Less than a month ago, former Destiny's Child member, Beyonce, released a new album titled "Lemonade." The album has since caused major stirs in the music industry in more ways than one. While the record itself is fantastic, the album has gained popularity mainly because it fans the infidelity rumors surrounding Beyonce and her husband's, Jay-Z, relationship. Jay-Z has remained mum throughout the release of "Lemonade." However, according to several reports the rapper is currently working on an album that could serve as a response to Beyonce's "Lemonade."
US Weekly recently spoke to a source close to Beyonce and Jay Z about the release of "Lemonade" and the backlash that has sprung forth because of the album. According to the source, the 46-year-old rapper is currently working on his own record that would explain his side of things. No details have been given as to when the album would be released. However, based on interviews with other music industry execs, Jay Z has enough material to come up with a record very soon.
Following the success of "Lemonade," Spin caught up with Just Blaze, one of the producers in Beyonce's latest album, in order to talk about his process in creating music and his music industry connections. During the interview, Just Blazer revealed that he has been friends and have worked with Beyonce and Jay Z for many years, so keeping the "Lemonade" album a secret was no big deal. In fact, he reveals that he has two albums worth of Jay Z material in his possession.
"I've known her for years and I've worked with Jay for almost 14, 15 years. Obviously, it's never going to be an issue of security with me. I mean, I have at least two albums' worth of Jay Z material sitting in my vault," quipped by Just Blaze during the Spin interview.
At present, "Lemonade" has sold over 1 million copies worldwide and it has topped the charts of several countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and Sweden.
Neither Beyonce nor Jay Z has confirmed the arrival of the latter's album in response to "Lemonade."
