After a playful Twitter Q&A session on Monday, Jay-Z revealed that his song “Open Letter” will be released on vinyl through Jack White‘s Third Man Records. The song, which didn’t make it onto the rapper’s album Magna Carta Holy Grail, will be available as a “playable letter.”

“Jack White, you know, aside from being a brilliant musician, he has this vinyl store so he makes these special edition vinyls, and we’re gonna put [‘Open Letter’] on the vinyl,” said Jay-Z.
