With minimal information made public surrounding Beyoncé and JAY-Z’s surprise album EVERYTHING IS LOVE, fans were anxious to know who produced the new music. Along with the album being available on Spotify premium and Apple Music now, so are the writing and production credits.
Some notable names for composers include NAV on “713” and “FRIENDS,” Offset and Quavo on “APESHIT,” and Ty Dolla $ign on “BOSS.” Pharrell Williams, Cool & Dre, Mike Dean, Boi-1da, Vinylz, !llmind and TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek are all listed among the album’s producers.
The album was originally only available on TIDAL. It will be available for free Spotify users on July 2. According to Beyoncé’s lyrics on “NICE,” having albums on all streaming platforms to maximize their playcounts was not a concern: “Patiently waiting for my demise/ ‘Cause my success can’t be quantified/ If I gave two fucks — two fucks about streaming numbers/ Would have put Lemonade up on Spotify.”
They’ve also released a video for “APESHIT.”
The new music and video come in the middle of JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s On The Run II Tour.

Lol… In before you Nas stans say, “Look it them lining notes, Jay Z sure is using a lot of ghostwriters for his rhymes.” First of all there not Ghostwriters, if they’e credited, and just because Jay Z uses 10X the writers that Nas does is because Nas is broke. Broke ass people make broke ass albums like Nasir and can’t afford quality writing.
Sure.
Man, there are a lot of writing credits on this album. Like, Jay Z and Beyonce used all the lyric writers for this joint.
Oh yeah, let’s just take time to remember Quentin miller was also a credit collaborator
Nas ain’t broke bruh lol
Nasir > EVERYTHING IS LOVE, Also, I don’t need to take a fucking intermission to read through the credits on Nasir.
Fuck Queensbridge you fat, retarded, no-pussy getting fuck! Shut up before I tie you up and brush your teeth you bum!
jay-z dissing drake for not introducing folks but he is using Nav and Boi1da on “Friends” which were blown up by OVO..smh
You’re half right, Nav is under Weeknd’s XO.
There are also a number of contributors of EVERYTHING IS LOVE that also contributed to “ye” and “Kids See Ghost”…..
Nope I only see one and that is Mike Dean
You forgot Ty Dolla Sign
BEYONCE IS NOT A WRITER. THIS IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE.
But but what about tidal and the “artists” lost that battle huh you crossaint lipped bitch
shame on your mother for burdening the world with you
Geez you gotta have zero confidence in rapping if you got NAV writing for you.
I was like WTF?!?!? Nav?!?!? Loooooooooooooool!!!
Fools, these are not writing credits. They are sampling credits.
How these two going to have everyone except me Ghostwrite for them?
Some of these tracks have 10 credited lyric writers for tracks that are a 3 minutes long. So, how much of these tracks did Jay Z and Beyonce write?
