JAY Z: Magna Carter World Tour December 2, 2013 - 8:00 PM Jay-Zs Magna Carter World Tour, which started in 2013 and keeps rolling through the arena circuit into 2014, is just the latest in the hip hop entrepreneurs string of success stories. Brooklyn native Shawn Carters 2013-14 tour came on the heels of the summer 2013 release of Magna Carta Holy Grail, his 15th studio album and his 13th straight to top the Billboard 200 album chart. Though his musical endeavors as an artist, label exec and producer provide the foundation for Jay-Zs empire, hes also a successful serial entrepreneur. Hes made his mark in the fashion world with his Rocawear clothing line, and hes branched into the sports world -- first as a part owner of the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA, then as the owner of the Roc Nation sports and entertainment agency. As he rapped in one song, Im not a businessman / Im a business, man. Jay-Zs rise came from humble beginnings. He and his three siblings grew up in a housing project in Brooklyns Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, and he was raised by his single mother after his father left when he was 11 years old. His early lyrics refer to a life rife with gun violence and drug dealing, and hes claimed that he turned to hip hop as a way out of poverty.
