Jay-Z wants you to chill about his vacation

Jay-Z and Beyonce recently took a Cuban vacation that has stirred up some minor controversy. U.S. tourism to Cuba is officially illegal, but the couple was granted a license to travel for educational exchange. Today, Jay-Z fired back at the “controversy” by dropping a new track called “Open Letter.” In the song, Hov boasts that he could “turn Havana to Atlanta” and claims “Politicians never did shit for me / Except lie to me, distort history,” before proclaiming ”Want to give me jail time and a fine? / Fine, let me commit a real crime.”

Jay-z will be releasing an album sometime in the near future, but nothing has been officially announced.
