Jay Z Teams Up With Ron Howard For 'Made In America' Music Documentary - Best Collaboration Ever?

Who's Jay Z Teaming Up With NOW?

Jay Z, it can safely be said, is not having a quiet week.

On top of everything else he's got going on, Monday sees the release of 'Made in America' - the music documentary that is the result of his collaboration with Oscar-winning director Ron Howard (Rush, A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13).
