Jay-Z Negotiating Multi-Million Dollar Book Deal
Posted by Jay
Mogul Jay-Z is close to finishing a book deal with the Spiegel & Grau imprint of Random House.
To some, a rapper writing a book might sound a little left-field. But when you think about it, many a rap career began with just a pen and a pad.
Reportedly, it’s a 3 book deal with a fat advance
- Book #1 will be based off his lyrics
- Book #2, a memoir
- Book #3 will be about his come up from a hustler’s perspective.
“Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, took on the world / Shit, I led a life you can write a book on / Sex, murder, and mayhem, romance for the street / Man and I’ll tell ya, it’ll be a best seller!” - Jay-Z

Jay-Z's not a businessman. He's a business, man.
