Pure inspiration ! When Jay-Z was trying to get into the rap industry and no one was ready to give him a deal, he started his own label called Roc-A-Fella Records! Staying close to the streets, convincing producers like DJ Premier and his pal Biggie to add their sheen to his first record and his sheer talent (Jay-Z never writes down his verses, he remembers them and spits them out in the booth) got his first record out in front of the public. And there was no going back after that! From the streets to the stars ! With the release of his book, Decoded, this dedication seemed so appropriate ! When business is a hustle, meet the king hustler who has a net worth of over $450 million !! Across basketball teams, night clubs and clothing lines

I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
I’d rather die enormous than live dormant.
I am not a businessman. I am a business. Man !
