Once Jay started making money he never stopped. He had been trying to break in the game for atleast 6 years, featuring on tracks by Original Flavor and Jaz-O but it wasn’t until ‘96 when producers Clark Kent, Premier, and Ski as well as partners Dame Dash and Kareem Biggs helped him break through that Jay-Z started making money. Since then he has made over $400 Million.
Also, once you put his album on you’re not going to turn it off
