## Summary

Beyoncé has released an extended four-track remix pack for "Morning Dew (Donk)", featuring Jay-Z's first new rap verse in nearly five years. The archival track, which dates back to her self-titled Beyoncé album era and was originally shared last month, now includes new production drawing on samples from Soulja Boy, the Isley Brothers and Sheck Wes, alongside Jay-Z's added verse in which he brushes off any envy over his wealth and marriage.

The release also includes non-explicit versions of the original recording and remix. Written by Beyoncé with Pharrell Williams, The-Dream and Darius Dixon, the song serves as an early preview of celebrations for the 20th anniversary of her second album, B'Day, with an anniversary edition due on her birthday, 4 September. The drop follows Beyoncé's recent on-stage appearances with Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium during his three-night run marking the anniversaries of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint, where she performed "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "Drunk in Love".
