Shawn Corey Carter, known professionally as JAY-Z, was born on December 4, 1969, in Brooklyn, New York. He is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and record executive, widely regarded as one of the most influential hip-hop artists and businessmen in music history.

JAY-Z is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with over 100 million records sold. He has won 24 Grammy Awards, more than any other rapper, and in 2006, MTV named him the “Greatest MC of All Time”. Three of his most iconic albums — Reasonable Doubt (1996), The Blueprint (2001), and The Black Album (2003) — were ranked among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

As of recent estimates, JAY-Z’s net worth has surpassed $2.5 billion, making him the first hip-hop billionaire and one of the wealthiest artists in the world.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri), known professionally as Eminem (stylized as EMINƎM) and by his alter ego Slim Shady, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and actor. His stage name comes from the pronunciation of his initials, M&M (“Em and Em”).

Eminem rose to worldwide fame in 1999 with the release of his major-label debut, The Slim Shady LP, which won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His follow-up, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000), became one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time and is often regarded as a landmark in rap history. With its success, Eminem launched his own label, Shady Records, and brought his rap group D12 to prominence.

His next albums, The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show (2002), both won Grammy Awards, solidifying his dominance in early-2000s hip-hop. In 2003, Eminem earned an Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Original Song for “Lose Yourself” from the film 8 Mile, in which he also starred — a semi-autobiographical role that received critical acclaim.
