Jay Z - In My Lifetime, Vol. 1

After the death of friend and compatriot The Notorious B.I.G. in early 1997, Jay-Z made his claim for the title of best rapper on the East Coast (or anywhere) with his sophomore shot, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. Though the productions are just a bit flashier and more commercial than on his debut, Jay-Z remained the tough street rapper, and even improved a bit on his flow, already one of the best in the world of hip-hop. Still showing his roots in the Marcy projects (he's surrounded by a group of kids in a picture on the back cover), Jay-Z struts the line between project poet and up-and-coming player, and manages to have it both ways. Released November 4, 1997 on Roc A Fella/Def Jam Records, the album peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart and #2 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and it was certified platinum by RIAA.
