Jay-Z: Ultimate Hustle

It was hardly predictable when the boy from the Brooklyn projects became the world’s first billionaire hip-hop star.That is precisely what happened to Shawn Corey Carter nicknamed ‘Jazzy’ in the neighborhood and now known as Jay-Z. He evolved from banging drumbeats on the kitchen table and free styling with his boombox to 24 Grammy Awards. World famous record producer has since built an empire with Rocawear Clothing, 40-40 sports bars, champagne, music streaming, and the NBA. His marriage to singer Beyoncé and their children would ground him. Motivated to give himself the life he always wanted, he turned his pain into passion and used the suffering he experienced growing up to influence the words and lyrics in his music.
