4:44 was first announced mid-June, and was quickly released June 30. In just one week, despite millions of illegal downloads, the album sold more than 1 million copies. Jay-Z has received wide-spread praise for the album, as well as a high amount of criticism for various points of the album, including production and lyrical jabs he took at multiple people throughout the album.

 

Nevertheless, Jay-Z appears unbothered by any of the negative Press, and has continued to promote the effort, which continues to do well with buyers and fans alike.

The M.E. Tour featuring @marshaambrosius & @ericbenet [Review]

​I've been to many concerts, but tonight's show with Marsha Ambrosius & Eric Benet at the Hard Rocksino was absolutely amazing. Eric Benet opened the show, taking us on a journey through two decades of hits that had many standing in their feet dancing and singing throughout his performance. He made sure to provide a little humor through multiple stories he told between a line of hit songs.

Marsha Ambrosius closed out the night, taking us on a similar journey through her solo hits, as well a as her gems as a member of Floetry. Ambrosius' energy was through the roof, as she took moments to sing along to many of her favorite songs by fellow singers and musicians. The audience laughed hysterical at the story of how her baby was almost named first Kyrie, and then KyLie, where the L would be symbolic of Lebron. Unquestionably, Ambrosius puts on an amazing show, and the audience was ecstatic to see her again, as she was here just last year. Topping the evening off, both artists took time to meet and greet with fans, taking pictures in the midst of it all. Simply put, it was an amazing evening that will be long remembered. You definitely want to make it a point to see these two if they hit your city.
