It’s not hard at all to defend Jay Z being known as one of the greatest rappers of all time. The man has won 21 Grammys in his day and has sold millions of millions of records! This talented musician turned 47 over the weekend and we thought there would be no better time to dig deeper into this legend.
The man that’s worth over $500 according to Forbes wasn’t always rich. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and was basically raised by just his mother. He has three siblings, one of which he shot when he was 12!
Jay Z loved music from an early age and would wake up his siblings pounding out beats in the middle of the night. Well, it all paid off because he released his debut album in 1995, “Reasonable Doubt,” and never looked back.
Jay Z has won 21 Grammys, released 12 solo albums and married one of the most beautiful and talented women in music, Beyonce. He’s done quite a lot before the age of 50!
