Jay-Z

As with Nas, Jay-Z is indeed a rap artist who is capable of becoming excessively complicated but prefers to keep his approach simple. This allows him to focus on honing and communicating his vision, which is his genuine skill. Whenever listening to Jay-Z, you will hear a man who is wise and also has a lot more to say.

Everyone likes it, which is how he became the richest artist in the United States and the very first rap millionaire. He is a member of the Hall of Fame for Songwriters, the recipient of 22 Grammys, and the seller of more than fifty million albums and 80 million singles. You've known of Jay-Z and listened to his songs; what more can be said?

Jay-Z co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, an apparel company. He developed and operates the 40/40 Club, a premium sports bar franchise. The artist just acquired the streaming provider Tidal. Perhaps most impressively, he is married to Beyonce.
