== Early life ==

Shawn Carter was born in Brooklyn, New York, and was raised in Marcy Houses, a housing project in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.〔Birchmeier, Jason. (Jay-Z Biography ). Allmusic. Retrieved August 24, 2007.〕 He and his three siblings were raised by their mother, Gloria Carter, after their father abandoned the family. He claims in his lyrics that in 1982, at the age of 12, he shot his older brother in the shoulder for stealing his jewelry.〔Adaso, Henry. (How Well Do You Know Jay-Z? ) About.com. Retrieved August 24, 2007.〕 Carter attended Eli Whitney High School in Brooklyn, along with future rapper AZ, until it was closed down. After that he attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School in Downtown Brooklyn, with fellow future rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes, and Trenton Central High School in Trenton, New Jersey, but did not graduate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jay-Z Picture, Profile, Gossip, and News at )〕 In his music he refers to having been involved in selling crack cocaine.〔 He has also said he had been shot at three times during this time in his life.〔
According to his mother, Carter used to wake up his siblings at night banging out drum patterns on the kitchen table. Eventually, she bought him a boom box for his birthday, sparking his interest in music. He began freestyling, writing lyrics, and followed the music of many artists popular at the time.〔"December 4", The Black Album – Jay-Z〕 In his neighborhood, Carter was known as "Jazzy", a nickname that eventually developed into his showbiz/stage name, "Jay-Z". The moniker is also an homage to his musical mentor, Jaz-O.〔 On July 18, 2013, he announced he was leaving out the hyphen, and prefers to be known as "Jay Z."〔〔
