Jay-Z began his music career in the 1980s, building a reputation as a fledgling rapper in his hometown of Brooklyn and collaborating with his mentor and fellow rapper Jaz-O. [2] Jay-Z later founded Roc-A-Fella Records with close friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke and released his debut studio album Reasonable Doubt in June 1996. [2] The album peaked at number twenty-three on the United States Billboard 200 record chart and has since been recognized as a seminal work of the hip hop genre. [3] [4] Its singles included "Dead Presidents", "Ain't No Nigga" and "Can't Knock the Hustle", all of which reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. [5] In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997), which saw Jay-Z collaborating with producers such as Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and Teddy Riley, [6] peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [3] [7] Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life was released in September 1998 and became his first number-one album in the United States. [8] The album featured the international hits "Can I Get A..." and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", which both reached top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100. [8] Vol. 2 was certified five times platinum by the RIAA and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 1999. [9] Two more chart-topping albums – Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter and The Dynasty: Roc La Familia – followed in December 1999 and October 2000 respectively. The albums included hit singles such as "Big Pimpin'" and "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and featured several guest appearances from artists signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. [2]

Jay-Z's fourth studio album The Blueprint , released in September 2001, topped the Billboard 200 and produced Jay-Z's first Billboard Hot 100 top ten single, "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)". [3] [8] The Blueprint is critically reviewed as his best album. The Best of Both Worlds , a collaboration with American R&B singer R. Kelly, and The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse were both released the following year. The latter album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and featured the top ten singles "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" and "Excuse Me Miss". [3] [8] The Black Album , released in November 2003, was intended by Jay-Z to be his final studio album and features his impending retirement as a recurring theme. [2] [10] The album performed well commercially and was later certified 3x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA. [7]

Following a period of dormancy, Jay-Z became president of Def Jam Recordings in December 2004 and resumed his rap career two years later with the release of Kingdom Come , which peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified 2x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA. [3] [7] [11] The concept album American Gangster followed in 2007 and continued his streak of number-one albums in the United States. [3] With the release of The Blueprint 3 in September 2009, Jay-Z surpassed Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most number-one albums on the Billboard 200. [12] The album included the international hits "Run This Town", "Empire State of Mind" and "Young Forever". [8] Watch the Throne , a collaborative album with American rapper Kanye West, followed in August 2011 and became Jay-Z's eleventh number-one album in the United States. [8] His album Magna Carta Holy Grail was released in July 2013 to great commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 and having the second-biggest sales week for 2013 at the time of its release.
