About Jay-Z

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is one of the most successful rappers ever to pick up a microphone. He has sold over 50 million records, received ten Grammies, and has more number one albums than any solo artist ever

All of this would be meaningless, though, if it weren’t for his artistry. “Jay-Hova”’s rhymes, flow, trend-setting styles, ear for beats, and ability to craft songs ranging from heartbreakers to party anthems ensures that all of the accolades are not misplaced

For further study, see our in-depth analysis of Jay’s classic 1996 debut album, Reasonable Doubt

We’ve also broken down the “Empire State of Mind” video in his honor..
