Beyoncé releases 'Morning Dew (Donk)' remix pack featuring Jay‑Z's first verse in years
Beyoncé surprised fans on August 5 by dropping a four‑track “Morning Dew (Donk)” remix pack with no prior notice. The EP includes three new versions of the song and the original, and features her husband Jay‑Z on two tracks.
Jay‑Z delivers his first original rap verse in nearly five years, rapping about their marriage and success. The verse marks his first new rap contribution since his guest spot on DJ Khaled’s 2022 track “God Did.”
The original “Morning Dew (Donk)” was released unexpectedly on July 4 as a preview for the upcoming 20th‑anniversary reissue of Beyoncé’s 2006 album B’Day, timed to coincide with her 45th birthday on September 4. The remix follows a recent joint appearance by the couple at Jay‑Z’s Yankee Stadium concerts, where Beyoncé joined him on stage.
