Find out how he revealed the new album's tracklisting, plus what we're already itching to hear....
On Saturday, Jay-Z's publicity team went into overdrive to promote the tracklisting for the upcoming MCHG album. His head honcho of publicity, Jana Fleishman, conducted a scavenger hunt via Twitter by tweeted out pics of certain locales in Brooklyn...then handing out books with the tracklisting once fans figured out locations and showed up.

Looks like "Jay-Z Blue" is going to be a sweet ode to his baby girl Blue Ivy, possibly in the same vein as his "Glory" track he recorded just hours after her birth.
And Courtney Loverevealed that she allowed Jay to use her late husband Kurt Cobain and Nirvana's "Teen Spirit" music for the album. It's unclear for which song the iconic music will be used for, but we're SO here for all of that.
