Jaz-O tells all about Jay-Z

Had it not been for Jaz-O, Jay-Z might not have become the artist he is today. Before his days as the head of Roc-A-Fella Records, Jay-Z rapped alongside Jaz-O. Aside from rapping, Jay-Z lived life as a big-time drug dealer. Twenty years later, he is one of the biggest music executives in the industry.

Jaz-O and Jay-Z had a falling out years ago and they are now bitter rivals. With Jay-Z at the peak of his business career and being praised for his business skills, Jaz-O is about to expose him. Jaz-O is working on a book called Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office.

In the book, Jaz-O exposes how Jay-Z shot his own brother before making it big. A simple argument went too far and Jay-Z shot his brother and called Jaz-O to inform him. Jaz went on to say Jay-Z was not the man he pretended to be on his records. On his early records, Jay-Z rapped as if he were a kingpin when Jaz-O says he was nothing more than a minor employee who was almost killed by a rival once.

Jay-Z was able to take his earnings and team up with Damon Dash to form Roc-A-Fella Records.
