Shawn Corey Carter (born December 4 1969), better known as Jay-Z, is an
American rapper and current president and CEO of Def Jam and
Roc-A-Fella Records. In addition, he co-owns The 40/40 Club, and is a
part owner of the New Jersey Nets NBA team. He is one of the most
successful American hip-hop artists.
Known for his flow and blending of street and popular rap, Jay-Z had
become one of the best-selling rappers in the hip hop industry. He is
admired for his ability to compose lyrics without the use of pen and
paper (he claims his critically acclaimed album The Blueprint was
written in only two days). He also returned from retirement in late
2006 with the album Kingdom Come which sold 680,000 copies in its first
week, Jay-Z's highest-selling album in a one-week period.
Along with Damon "Dame" Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, Jay-Z was one of
the founders of Roc-A-Fella Records, a hip-hop record label that also
launched the careers of artists such as Beanie Sigel, Kanye West,
Memphis Bleek, Young Gunz, Freeway, and Teairra Marí.
