With the release of his stellar 1996 Gold debut “Reasonable Doubt,” Jay-Z was soon to become a household name driven by the smash singles “Can’t Knock The Hustle,” “Feelin’ It” and the Gold single “Ain’t No N*gga” (featuring Foxy Brown). Although “Reasonable Doubt” has been heralded as a certified classic by fans and critics alike, the humble Brooklyn MC is very quick to place his successful debut in its proper perspective. “I view the first album as like an introduction,” he explains. “Not to take away from it in any way, but it wasn’t too detailed. Whereas, with ‘In My Lifetime Vol. 1,’ I really took it there.”
The hot leadoff single “Sunshine” pairs Jay-Z, a.k.a. Jhigga, with his longtime Hip-Hop female counterpart Foxy Brown, as well as an unlikely appearance by R&B superstar Babyface. Jay-Z, along with the industry’s hottest figures, such as Puff Daddy (now P. Diddy) and Lil’ Kim (“I Know What Girls Like”), Too $hort (“Real N*****”), Blackstreet featuring Teddy Riley (“The City Is Mine”), Trackmasterz (“Face Off”), DJ Premier (“Million & One Questions” and “Rhyme No Mo”) and a host of others, combined their talents to do their thing and enhance Jay-Z‘s second coming.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE JAY-Z?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire JAY-Z for an event?)
(i.e., what is JAY-Z booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for JAY-Z, or any other celebrity, are determined based on a number of factors and may change at any time without prior notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist’s calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist’s concerts, the current demand for the artist’s music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist’s price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist’s manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
