Jay-Z Artist Information
Which rap artist can lay claim to be being a dominant rap superstar, hip hop clothing entrepreneur, record producer and successful business executive in the music industry? That artist would be none other than Jay-Z, and your chance to see him perform live is just a click away at TickCo!
One of the most influential and successful rap artists of this generation, Jay-Z built up a sizable fan base with a reputation for thought-provoking lyrics and a unique blending of street and popular rap styles. Critics took notice of his work as well, with over twenty Grammy nominations in his illustrious career and several wins to boot. At the height of his fame, Jay-Z pulled the plug on an outstanding career and went into a self-imposed "retirement".
Fans had reason to rejoice in late 2006 when Jay-Z returned to once again dominate the airwaves! The time off did not slow Jay-Z down one bit. If anything, time away just added to his legacy. Record sales remain high and excitement levels remain at a fever pitch when he performs.
Jay-Z headlined the legendary Glastonbury Festival in 2008, making him the first major hip hop artist to be the headliner for that event. There was plenty of controversy surrounding the decision for a hip hop artist to be the headliner. Many veteran, British Glastonbury performers ridiculed the decision, but Jay Z was indeed up to the task, putting on an amazing performance that even the critics had to praise.
