June 25, 1996. A hungry, razor-sharp JAŸ-Z released his debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt, independently on Roc-A-Fella Records.
Built on smooth jazz samples, cinematic street noir production, and unmatched lyrical dexterity, the album transformed mafioso rap into high art and established Jay-Z as one of hip-hop's greatest lyricists.
To commemorate three decades of a groundbreaking classic, Roc Nation presents the definitive 30th Anniversary Edition—a must-have release for true heads, vinyl collectors, and hip-hop historians alike.
