It has been five long years since the release of Jay-Z‘s most recent album, 4:44. With the break — and the upcoming arrival of wife Beyoncé‘s forthcoming LP, Renaissance, later this month — fans are wondering if the 52-year-old rapper’s time away from music is permanent. But according to Jay-Z, retirement is not in his cards.
Speaking with Kevin Hart in a season two sneak peek of Hart to Heart, the 24-time Grammy award winner addressed what’s ahead for his career in the coming years, and says he’s leaving it up to chance, but does not have plans to fully step away from music.
