Performer: Jay-Z
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: MAXIMUM issues the biography of famous rapper Jay-Z as an audio book, including a full-color poster, photo booklet, and afull color slipcase. Shawn Corey Carter--Jay-Z--has been a rapper, record company mogul, sports team owner, club promoter, and mate of the beautiful Beyonce. This audio biography--with interview clips, narration, and a full-color booklet--tells the whole inspiring rags-to-riches story of his "hard knock life."
Considered one of the best lyricists to emerge in the wake of the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac's deaths, Jay-Z has since carried the flag of hip-hop narrative skill. His Roc-A-Fella family had already created a solid reputation based on Jay-Z's 1997 debut. As his fame has grown, so has his tendency to bring more R&B production elements into his work, creating a club-friendly, danceable version of east coast gangsta hip-hop that hasn't diminished his reputation as a preeminent force in rap. Perhaps even more importantly, Jay-Z has become a powerful musica impresario. In his role as president/CEO of Def Jam in the early 2000s, he fostered the careers of popular R&B singers Rihanna and Ne-Yo, and enjoyed a high profile as a co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team. His long relationship and eventual marriage to superstar Beyonce has further endeared him to fans.
