If ever there were a reasonable doubt that JAY-Z didn’t have the chops to thrive in hip-hop, his modern mogul status proves otherwise. He rose from a tough childhood in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects to earn over 20 Grammys and sell over 100 million albums, all the while perfecting the frank NYC flow established by predecessors like Biggie Smalls. JAY’s debut album, 1996’s Reasonable Doubt, established his hustler attitude. He went on to amass further hits like “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” (from 1998’s Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life) and “Big Pimpin’” (from 1999’s Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter), proving his acumen for the charts. JAY crafted his initial farewell statement on 2003’s The Black Album—with production from the soon-to-break-out Kanye West —but couldn’t stay away. He returned in 2006 with Kingdom Come, and followed it with heavy output , including 2017’s lauded 4:44. In between those projects, he grew his empire, helming Roc-a-Fella Records and spearheading various film, clothing, sports management, and production deals. He’s a business, man.

Beyonce Jay Z On The Run
On The Run Part 2 Free Download Jay Z
First heard this on the radio in the middle of the song and loved the beat. Didn't know who it was (I did recognize Jay-Z, thought the girl was Kelly Rowland, lol!),. The Run This Town Songfacts reports that Kanye West originally argued against Jay-Z releasing this as a single. When the song was played at a barbecue hosted by the DJ Enuff led DJ collective, the Heavy Hitters, such was the reaction to the record, he was convinced it wouldn't be a hit.
