How well do you know JayZ?
Started from the bottom now he is here
Undoubtedly, he has come a long way from his humble beginning. The rapper was born Shawn Corey Carter and later got famous by his stage name ‘Jay Z’. It is hard to believe now that he was once a drug dealer in Brooklyn. Later, in 1996, he established Roc-A-Fella Records. And it was through this label that he debuted with his album ‘Reasonable Doubt’.
