Those without Tidal/Sprint had to go the illegal route to download JAY-Z's new album 4:44.

But nobody has to do that anymore.

Now, anyone can download the album for free.

Just go to 444.tidal.com. The page should read "Download Album" and asks for a voucher code. The code is "SPRINT." If you complete the form, you will be able to get 4:44 in MP3 or FLAC format.

Sure, Sprint will spam the hell out of the email you give them to get the downloads. But you should already have an email account just for that.

If CDs are still your speed, there's also good news on the 4:44 front. The CD version has gone up for pre-order on Amazon with a release date of July 7.

The physical copy may include the track 'Adnis' -- which was used to promote the album but didn't appear in the initial drop -- and other additional material.
