History

2002-present: Recording and songwriting collaborations

After working together on the music video for Amil's song "I Got That" in 2000, the couple went on to make their first recording collaboration with "'03 Bonnie & Clyde", which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo co-wrote five tracks on Beyoncé's debut album, Dangerously in Love, including its lead single "Crazy in Love", which topped the charts in the US. This was followed by two collaborations on her follow-up, B'Day (2006), which spawned their single "Déjà Vu", which peaked at number four in the US and number one in the UK.

Following several of Beyoncé's appearances on Jay-Z's records Kingdom Come and Watch the Throne, the duo released the number two US hit, "Drunk in Love", from Beyoncé's 2013 self-titled album. Beyoncé appeared as a vocalist on two songs on Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail (2013). The couple later released two collaborations with DJ Khaled, and worked on The Lion King: The Gift (2019), which Beyoncé curated and executive-produced.

The couple has also collaborated in songwriting, typically on each other's songs, and have both received Grammy Awards as songwriters for "Crazy in Love", "Drunk in Love", and "Savage (Remix)".[3][4] Jay-Z has writing credits on six Beyoncé albums, namely Dangerously in Love, B'Day, Beyoncé, The Lion King: The Gift, Renaissance (2022), and Cowboy Carter (2024).[5]

2014; 2018: As The Carters and Everything is Love

In 2014 and 2018, The Carters embarked on two co-headlining concert tours, On the Run Tour and On the Run II Tour. On June 16, 2018, during a London stop of their On the Run II Tour, The Carters premiered the music video for "Apeshit". Following the conclusion of the video, the words "ALBUM OUT NOW" appeared on the screen.[6][7] Everything Is Love was released exclusively on Tidal for streaming and digital download, and was later made available across all other platforms.[8][9] The record received positive reviews and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The album was later ranked as one of the best albums of the year by critics and won a Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album.[10]
