The Evolution of Jay-Z
Jay came into the game under the wing of fellow Marcy rapper Jaz-O, making an appearance on his 1989 single "Hawaiian Sophie." But he stepped to a higher level of mentor when he linked with Big Daddy Kane, who took a young Hov on tour and featured him on his 1994 cut "Show and Prove."
