Part II (On the Run)

Part II (On the Run)

JAY-Z (Ft. Beyoncé)

Released as the 3rd single off Magna Carta… Holy Grail, the record serves as a spiritual sequel to the consummation of their budding relationship: “03' Bonnie and Clyde”, released way back in 2002, off The Blueprint 2.

It’s an homage to the privacy that has surrounded their relationship from it’s outset. They are “fugitives” from the clutches and trappings of fame; the drugs, ego, and ultimate heartbreak that seems to accompany so many musical nuptials.

It’s success spawned the incredibly popular On The Run Tour, which grossed well north of $100m and was witnessed by almost 1 million people.
