No I.D. previously worked with JAY-Z on 2009's "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)," plus Kanye West and Rihanna collaboration "Run This Town." The pair worked together on Jay's most recent album, 2013's Magna Carta Holy Grail on the song"Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake. No I.D. also has credits on American Gangster, Blueprint 2 and Blueprint 3.

4:44.will be released at 12:01 a.m. EST on June 30 and will be available exclusively to Sprint customers and TIDAL subscribers. The rapper has shared a snippet of a new track entitled "Adnis" via the trailer for the accompanying film of the same name. The film stars Mahershala Ali, Lupita Nyong’o, and Danny Glover among others.

Representatives for TIDAL and Roc Nation were not immediately available for comment.
