It’s no surprise Kanye had big plans for this month, releasing a shoe line under Adidas.  The line is titled, “Yeezy Season 1”, and was released February 14th  for the residents of NYC and will launch worldwide on February 28th.

Kanye debuted the shoe line in a similar way to Jay-Z‘s album, Magna Carta, and will be showcasing a runway show in select cities that mimics the commercial that was released on valentines day.

Kanye’s goals are to create “wearable art” that will eventually give everyone the chance to own a pair.  Kanye also wants to push the fashion world to move towards more open markets and a culturally diverse industry.  He is exposing the sad truth about our nation’s fashion world and is taking matters into his own hands now to inspire artists like him.

In the commercial Kanye says,

“We have been limited. It’s bigger than who I am. It’s about when I was on earth, what did I do to help? I want people to feel like it’s OK to create and follow what their dreams are and not feel boxed in. I want people to feel like awesome is possible. There’s a lack of creativity in every field because people are afraid. As an artist and in this world, we can do whatever we want.”

After a few sneak peeks, a finalized tracklisting for Jigga’s highly anticipated solo effort is now available. After getting the initial tracklist last week, the full tracklist, along with featured artists, has been officially released for Jay-Z’s upcoming Magna Carta Holy Grail album. As shown below, guests include Rick Ross, Beyonce, Frank Ocean, and Justin Timberlake. Magna Carta Holy Grail drops July 4th to one million Samsung Galaxy users, with a official date of July 7th for everyone else.

Contributing producer Swizz Beatz gave fans an idea of what to expect this time around.

“Fans” always want to go back to the classics. You always have that hunger of ‘Man, why didn’t he didn’t he just… Man, he’s supposed to…’ It’s always going to be that. For the first time in a long time I think someone solved that problem. He did that with this album.”

Last weekend, the solo effort’s tracklisting revealed Magna Carta Holy Grail would have thirteen records. In Brooklyn, Jay-Z fans went on a scavenger hunt, and were handed binders containing the tracklist to Magna Carta Holy Grail. No word on features, but known producers include: Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Rick Rubin, and Pharrell. Album drops downloads on July 4th. Well now we have it here for you.
