LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jay-Z is back in Instagram as he begins promoting his next movie ‘The Book of Clarence,’ which he co-produces with Jeymes Samuel, James Lassiter, among others.

As per the latest update on the movie, Jay-Z is all set to add his musical prowess in the flick, with other details to follow. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, shared the trailer for Jeymes Samuel’s Biblical comedy featuring Lakeith Stanfield and captioned, “The Book of Clarence January 2024."

Which was the last movie Jay-Z produced?

The celebrated rapper and the creator of ‘The Roc Nation’ collaborated with writer-director Jeymes Samuel on his 2021 film ‘The Harder They Fall.’

The 53-year-old musician also wrote two soundtracks for the project. He also created history by becoming the first Black recording artist to earn at least 10 double-platinum solo studio albums.

While celebrating 50 years of the Hip-Hop music genre, Jay-Z was honored with an exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library titled Book of HOV.

In a press release, the exhibit was mentioned as "A tribute to Carter’s global impact as a musician, entrepreneur, philanthropist and disruptor."

It further read, “It was also constructed as a surprise to Carter and as a celebration for both his hometown of Brooklyn and the broader hip-hop community across the world.”

Jay-Z’s family was present to show their support, including his daughter Blue Ivy, 11, and wife Beyonce at the exhibit’s unveiling on July 11.

What did the popular artists say about 50 years of the Hip-Hop genre?

On 50 years of the Hip-Hop music genre celebration, 03 Greedo reflected, "It’s just a good time to be alive and an active member of the hip-hop community. Hip-hop is playing in the background of commercials, movies, and TV; it’s everywhere."

"I used to think rock and roll was big, but it seems like hip-hop is going to overtake that. Everybody talks about hip-hop tearing people apart, when in reality it brings all different types of people together" he added.

Chance the Rapper added, "It's a testament to the durability and tenacity of Black folks, period. And just reminds me that this language and culture that we developed, that we had to develop out of necessity has been a real tool for mobility.

Coi Larey chimed in by saying, "It feels good to be a part of such an amazing legacy. With everything going on in the world right now, it’s important that music and culture constantly reminds everyone of how big the hip-hop influence is on fashion, movies, and entertainment as a whole."
