In 1998, Jay-Z rapped the line “I lead a life you could write a book on” and now he can add movies and TV shows to this. By the next decade, Jay-Z had a book written on him. Within five years of this, an entire TV show, “Empire,” was based on his life.
The character of Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, is based on Jay-Z and his company, Empire Entertainment, is based on Roc Nation. It says a lot about Jay-Z’s influence. Now, Jay-Z has another album in the works, according to the rumor mill.
Much of Jay-Z’s focus is on his new music streaming service, TIDAL, which he purchased in January. In an effort to bolster the interest in the service, Jay-Z and Beyonce are creating a joint album, according to the rumors. This reported album is said to be released this weekend.
