Shawn Corey Carter, or Jay Z for real, is one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, his solo endeavours along with collaborations with rapper Kanye West and RnB singer Beyonce (Jay Zs wifey), among others have earned him international success.
Born and raised in New York City, Jay-Z began his musical career in the mid 1990s, after which he released his debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt, in 1996, to widespread critical and commercial success. He released the album a year after founding the record label Roc-A-Fella Records. His subsequent albums have also seen great praise, with The Blueprint (2001) and The Black Album (2003) later being heralded as modern musical classics.
He followed these with the collaborative album Watch the Throne (2011) with Kanye West, his critically lauded thirteenth studio album 4:44 (2017), and a collaborative effort titled Everything Is Love with wife Beyoncé in 2018.
Jay Z and Beyoncé were reportedly bringing their co-headline ‘On The Run II’ tour to New Zealand later this year. The pair were expected to tour Europe and the US together this year with no other dates announced just yet, but the tour was reportedly being extended to add dates in New Zealand.
