Ellen Grossman has reviewed Jay Z's new album 'Magna Carter Holy Grail' following her surprise meeting with the rapper on a New York subway last year.

MTV recruited Ellen to offer her thoughts on the star's latest record and praised some of the overall themes running through.
"It sounds like he's really going deep into his heart and into fatherhood and even the meaning of fame," she said.
"[He's saying] that the money's nice, but there's life beyond that, that he's exploring."
She continued: "I picked that up from the papers but I felt it in the man too, when I met him. That he had a depth to him."
The new album was released on 4th July through an exclusive Samsung App and features collaborations with wife Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Frank Ocean.
