    First edition of this work by the Grammy Award-winning artist. Octavo, original boards, illustrated. Boldly signed by Jay-Z on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. The book combines lyrics, their explanations, anecdotes, reflections, and autobiographical information. Jay-Z explains the three reasons why he wanted to write the book being a case for hip-hop lyrics as poetry, to tell a generational story turned into powerful experiences and revolved as a story everyone can relate to. âOne of a handful of books that just about any hip hop fan should own" (The New Yorker).
