JAY-Z topped the charts and critics lists earlier this year with the release of his ‘4:44’ album. And now Jigga is now taking the project on the road.

Last night, the rapping mogul launched the ‘4:44 Tour’ in Anaheim, California at the Honda Center.

Much to the delight of the 18,000 in attendance, the star – real name Shawn Carter – delivered a set that pulled from his pool of classics and revered cuts from his current LP.

In total, the North American trek will play 34 dates and wrap in December. International shows are anticipated, but have yet to be confirmed.
