Jay-Z began his music career in the 1980s, building a reputation as a fledgling rapper in his hometown of Brooklyn and collaborating with his mentor and fellow rapper Jaz-O. Jay-Z later founded Roc-A-Fella Records with close friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke and released his debut studio album ''Reasonable Doubt'' in June 1996.〔 The album peaked at number twenty-three on the United States ''Billboard'' 200 record chart and has since been recognized as a seminal work of the hip hop genre.〔 Its singles included "Dead Presidents", "Ain't No Nigga" and "Can't Knock the Hustle", all of which reached the top ten on the ''Billboard'' Hot Rap Songs chart.〔 ''In My Lifetime, Vol. 1'' (1997), which saw Jay-Z collaborating with producers such as Sean Combs and Teddy Riley, peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200 and earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).〔〔 ''Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life'' was released in September 1998 and became his first number-one album in the United States.〔 The album featured the international hits "Can I Get A..." and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", which both reached top twenty of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔 ''Vol. 2'' was certified five times platinum by the RIAA and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 1999. Two more chart-topping albums – ''Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter'' and ''The Dynasty: Roc La Familia'' – followed in December 1999 and October 2000 respectively. The albums included hit singles such as "Big Pimpin'" and "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and featured several guest appearances from artists signed to Roc-A-Fella Records.〔
Jay-Z's sixth studio album ''The Blueprint'', released in September 2001, became controversial for including lyrics attacking other New York City rappers.〔 Nonetheless, ''The Blueprint'' topped the ''Billboard'' 200 and produced Jay-Z's first ''Billboard'' Hot 100 top ten single, "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)".〔〔 ''The Best of Both Worlds'', a collaboration with American R&B singer R. Kelly, and ''The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse'' were both released the following year. The latter album peaked at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and featured the top ten singles "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" and "Excuse Me Miss".〔〔 ''The Black Album'', released in November 2003, was intended by Jay-Z to be his final studio album and features his impending retirement as a recurring theme.〔 The album performed well commercially and was later certified three times platinum by the RIAA.〔
Following a period of dormancy, Jay-Z became president of Def Jam Recordings in December 2004 and resumed his rap career two years later with the release of ''Kingdom Come'', which peaked at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was certified two times platinum from the RIAA.〔〔 The concept album ''American Gangster'' followed in 2007 and continued his streak of number-one albums in the United States.〔 With the release of ''The Blueprint 3'' in September 2009, Jay-Z surpassed Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most number-one albums on the ''Billboard'' 200. The album included the international hits "Run This Town", "Empire State of Mind" – which became Jay-Z's first single as a solo artist to top the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 – and "Young Forever".〔 ''Watch the Throne'', a collaborative album with American rapper Kanye West, followed in August 2011 and became Jay-Z's eleventh number-one album in the United States.〔 His album ''Magna Carta Holy Grail'' was released in July 2013 to great commercial success, topping the ''Billboard'' 200 and having the second-biggest sales week for 2013 at the time of its release.
