Jay-Z was born Shawn Corey Carter on December 4, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He became interested in music as a child, and began writing rhymes and free-styling after his mother bought him a boom box for his birthday. With an absent father, Carter looked to the streets for financial support. As a teen, Jay-Z met up with small-time rapper Jaz-O, aka Big Jaz, from whom he learned the ins and outs of the record industry. Unable to land a deal with a major label, Jay-Z decided to form his own record label, Roc-A-Fella Records, on which he released his debut album, Reasonable Doubt in 1996.
Jay-Z's next string of albums, which included Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life (1998), The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (2000), The Blueprint (2001), and The Black Album (2003), were each more popular than the last, and catapulted him to the forefront of the rap scene. In 2003, Jay-Z announced his retirement from recording. He assumed the role of president of Def Jam Records, but came out of retirement in 2005 for his "I Declare War" concert, and released his comeback album Kingdom Come in 2006. He released his 11th album, The Blueprint 3, on September 8, 2009. It went #1 on the charts, proving that Jay-Z is still on the top of his game.
In addition to his studio albums, Jay-Z has released four compilation albums and four collaboration albums. He has been instrumental in launching the careers of fellow R&B artists Kanye West, J. Cole, Rihanna, and Young Jeezy. He has worked with many other artists such as R. Kelly, Ja Rule, DMX, and Linkin' Park. In early 2009, Jay-Z announced his departure of Def Jam, and the formation of record label Roc Nation.
With a new album fresh off the presses and a popular tour to back it up, Jay-Z fans will certainly not want to miss their chance to find their seats for an upcoming 2010 Jay-Z concert!
