Empire State of Mind: How Jay Z Went from Street Corner to Corner Office, Revised Edition

Now updated and revisedâ€”from Forbes senior editor, a compelling portrait of American rapper Jay Z and his rise from the Brooklyn projects to the top of the business world.
Â
Only a handful of people embody the legacy of hip-hop and entrepreneurship like Jay Z. A modern-day King Midas, everything he touchesâ€”sports bars, streaming services, record labels, and cognacâ€”turns to gold. How exactly did he do it?
Â
Forbes senior editor Zack Oâ€™Malley Greenburg reveals the story of Jay Zâ€™s legendary rise from the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn to stages and corner offices worldwide. He draws on over 100 interviews with those who knew Jay Z from the beginning: his classmates at George Westinghouse High School; the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; and the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on the music. Also bearing witness are the artists who worked alongside him, including J. Cole and Alicia Keys.
Â
Jay Zâ€™s life is a blueprint for any hustler, businessperson, and entrepreneur who seeks to build something spectacular.
