Back in 2013, Jay Z dropped the hyphen from his name [1] in a move that shocked and saddened punctuation enthusiasts everywhere. In a long tradition of rapper names changes like Biggie Smalls to Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy to P. Diddy [2], and Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion, Jay Z has decided to switch things up and put it back [3]. He's also doing uppercase letters again for some extra pizzazz.

You can now refer to the Watch the Throne artist as JAY-Z, which is best said loudly and with a short pause before the "Z." What a big week for JAY; he gained two new babies [4] and one old hyphen.
