Jay-Z
American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur (born 1969)
Shawn Corey Carter, known professionally as Jay-Z, is an American rapper, businessman, and record executive. In 2023, Billboard and Vibe published a list of the 50 greatest rappers of all time, where they claimed Jay-Z is the greatest rapper of all time. The list was met with widespread backlash. Rooted in East Coast hip-hop, Jay-Z is known for his complex lyricism that often uses double entendres, wordplay, and braggadocio. His music is built on a rags to riches narrative. According to Forbes, he is the wealthiest musical artist in history, worth an estimated US$2.8 billion as of 2026.
