Jay-Z crashed the party during Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.

No, he wasn’t at the game. But his presence was definitely felt.

The hip-hop mogul announced a new album – ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ – during an extended halftime commercial. Jay-Z, who has dipped his toe in representing athletes like Yankees star Robinson Cano, has partnered with Samsung.

The mobile company has purchased one million copies of Jay-Z’s latest album and will give it away to Galaxy smartphone users three days before the album’s official release.
