My favorite artist is a man by the name of Shawn Carter. For those who do not know who he is, he is a very successful musician and has been since 1989. He also goes by the stage name of Jay-z. Jay-z is a hip hop artist who has released eleven solo albums and has sold more than 50 million records world wide. He also made two collaboration records with R&B legend R.Kelly that went platinum and worked with Alternative Rock star group Linkin Park. Jay-z was once a student to the late great, Notorious BIG (Christopher Wallace) from whom he learned his knowledge of Hip-Hop and skills as a writer before his sudden murder in 1997. Jay has also branched from Hip Hop and started his own clothing label, record company, chain of night clubs, alcohol, and is a part time owner of the New Jersey Nets! Jay-z also introduced us to Kanye West! Anyone could benefit from becoming a fan of Jay-z because not only is he a famous and successful recording artist, he is a renaissance man, becoming a master to more than just being a Hip Hop artist, but also being a business man.
