Jay Z tickets have become something of a world-wide sensation as the hip hop artist has perhaps transcended his genre and helped bring hip hop and rap into the popular musical forefront. Kids, teenagers, and adults everywhere of every skin color, social class, and religion are doling out the dollars to purchase the latest Jay Z album and the Jay Z concert nearest them. It is truly incredible how far the teenager once known as Shawn Carter has come as he has reached world superstar status.
He began as a poor kid (born December 4, 1970) in Brooklyn and raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in the Marcy Houses projects before they were torn down. He attended the same schools as other notable New York rappers like Busta Rhymes and Notorious B.I.G. He shared the same storyline as well, never finishing school because he was dealing drugs instead. Eventually he righted his ways and followed his musical inspiration, which had been a part of his life since his mother bought him a boom box for his twelfth birthday. The young man would become Jay Z, which was homage to his hip hop mentor Jaz-O and the J/Z subway line stop near his home.
Jay Z first garnered attention after holding his own against Zai in a rap battle. His rhythmic free style caught the attention of a few record labels and led to appearances on other popular rappers albums. Still, all the appearances on tracks did not lead to a solid record label deal and they did not lead to a huge national tour with Jay Z tickets at arenas throughout the other big cities in the America.
Instead, he, Dame Dash, and Kareem Biggs started their own label, Roc-A-Fella Records and struck a distribution deal with Priority. The first release on this independent label was Jay Z's first album, Reasonable Doubt (1996). The album ended up going platinum and peaking at number three on the U.S. R&B charts. The success of Jay Z's first album prompted Def Jams to sign the burgeoning Hip Hop artist. His first release for them came a year later in 1997 with Sean Combs (later to be known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy among many other names).
The album, My Lifetime, Vol. 1, was a deeply personal album for Jay Z. He worked through his emotions of anger and mourning after losing a good friend, The Notorious B.I.G. He also rhymed about his life as a kid and the album and its sincerity struck a huge chord with the fans, reaching number 3 on the U.S. Charts overall and going platinum. Jay Z tickets were more than simply vogue, but an obsession for many as his album helped usher in a new era of domination of the music market by hip hop artists.
Jay Z would not spend time basking in his success. Instead he continued to spend time in the studio and knocked out his third album, Vol. 2…Criminal Charges. In 1999 he released his fourth album, Vol. 3…Life and Times of S. Carter. These albums and the eventual return to the street sound that emphasized his rhymes made him a mainstream success. Allegations that he stabbed a record producer surfaced as well. This seemed to concurrently give him street cred as he moved into the mainstream and further endear him audiences that craved something more dangerous than the N' Sync. The albums both went platinum a few times over.
Artist Biography - Jay-z
The 21st century found Jay Z in search of a new challenge. That challenge seemed to be to create a defining album for hip hop and that album was The Blueprint (2001). It debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to go double platinum, which was hardly his best showing in the record sales. Two more hit albums followed (The Blueprint 2 and The Black Album) and Jay Z seemed to have achieved everything he desired, including re-launching his original label, Roc-A-Fella Records.
Jay Z tickets were sold for what was supposed to be his last tour in 2004 as he was set to retire after nearly a decade in the music business. Instead, three years later, Jay Z returned with a new album, Kingdom Come. The album utilized the sampling that had always been at the heart of hip hop, but branched out to include artists like Chris Martin from Coldplay. In fact, later on the two would collaborate on an entire album with Jay Z rhymes over Coldplay music.
American Gangster was another hit for him in 2007 and it became clear that Jay Z would never retire and that Jay Z tickets for world tours were certain to be available for years to come. He had truly transcended his genre when he headlined the Glastonbury Festival in 2008. The festival is typically a celebration of rock and roll, but Jay Z had become so popular and so respected that he could take the mic on stage and get the crowd that just swayed to Coldplay jumping up and down.
The latest Jay Z album to be released is The Blueprint 3, which will be released on September 8, 2009 and will have Jay Z tickets available for a world tour produced by Live Nation. Jay Z is known for much more than his music and his grudges now though. He has married Beyonce, was the CEO of Def Jam Recordings, owns part of the 40/40 Club, and owns part of the New Jersey Nets (and is a driving force in bringing the team back to New York to the borough of Brooklyn).
