It's 1998. Monica Lewinksy has the most famous head game in history. Metal Gear Solid is the hottest shit on the block. And the King of New York is gone.
When Biggie died in late '97, it was hard to imagine anyone taking his spot. But Jay didn't just pick up where BIG left off, he took it to a level nobody could have imagined. In less than a decade, he went from hustler to international CEO, from rapping to running the rap game and the most famous record label in its history. And as dope as Reasonable Doubt is, it all started with 'In My Lifetime Vol. 1', Jay's first album after Biggie's death, and the most slept on album in his career.
Vol. 1 made Jay into the rapper that took over the world. It was the album that established his mainstream, commercial style- a complete 180 from the underground sound of Reasonable Doubt.
