14 DAY TRIAL // Jay-Z’s brand new album, “Magna Carta Holy Grail,” goes on sale internationally on July 9 but, until then, you might want to think about flying over the UK to check out the new art installation at The Salisbury Cathedral, made possible thanks to the rapper.
A post on Jay’s Life and Times website notes that the album cover will be displayed alongside the real Magna Carta throughout the month of July.
If you still needed proof of Jay’s star power, consider this bit as confirmation: the man gets to have his album artwork displayed next to one of the most important documents in the history of democracy.
“Located in the United Kingdom, The Salisbury Cathedral, home to one of the four surviving original 1215 Magna Carta documents, has become the site which debuted JAY Z’s Magna Carta… Holy Grail album cover art. The installation will be on display at the Salisbury Cathedral Chapter House through the month of July,” the post says.
As of today, July 4, 2013, select Samsung users get to check out the album. The rest of the world will only be able to do so after July 9.
