Jay-Z now Jay Z, drops hyphen from name.

Jay Z tried to drop the punctuation mark from his name before, but this time it better stick.
Through his label Roc Nation, the rapper has sent a missive to various publications warning them he's removing the hyphen between the Jay and the Z of his stage name.


The artwork on his new album Magna Carta... Holy Grail already shows the name change and now Jay Z is naturally following through with what he started.
The news was taken with some grains of humour among those associated with the music industry.

Joe Levy, editor of Billboard magazine, tweeted: 'Breaking: Jay Z has dropped the hyphen from his name, according to his label. I am not kidding. (Wish I was.) Copy editors: take note.'
