Biography:
Shawn Corey Carter, better known as Jay-Z, was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Raised in Brooklyn, Carter was a school friend of the Notorious B.I.G. He is an American rapper and former CEO of Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records. He co-owns The 40/40 Club and the New Jersey Nets NBA team. He is one of the most financially successful hip hop artists and entrepreneurs in America. He has sold over 26 million units in the United States and 50 million copies worldwide. The New York Times announced that Jay-Z is on the verge of a partnership with Live Nation for $150 million among the most expensive contracts ever awarded to a musician. Born and raised in the rough Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, NY, Jay-Z underwent some tough times after his father left his mother before the young rapper was even a teen. Without a man in the house, he became a self-supportive youth, turning to the streets, where he soon made a name for himself as a fledging rapper. Known as "Jazzy" in his neighborhood, he soon shortened his nickname to Jay-Z and did all he could to break into the rap game.
