Jay-Z

Jay-Z and Coldplay have announced that they will both be performing a very special show in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve. This concert is set to take place at the Cosmopolitan casino and resort and unfortunately, it's invite-only. However, the organisers will be broadcasting the performance on the hotel's large marquee outside. So good news if you happen to be passing by.

The world's highest-earning Hip Hop artist is now set to join the world's highest-earning band at their November 25th concert at Mt Smart Stadium. Live Nation Global Touring and Michael Coppel have today confirmed that JAY Z will be joining U2 as the very special guest for dates in New Zealand and Australia. The U2 360° Tour will visit Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth.

The hit internet spoof video Newport State Of Mind which parodies Jay-Z has been removed from YouTube due to a "copyright claim" by EMI Publishing. The clip had been viewed hundreds of thousands of times since last month. A statement from EMI said: "When a song is created based wholly on any of our writers' works, those writers need to grant their permission. "If that permission isn't granted, then we ask the service in question to remove the song."

Jay-Z has joined forces with the UK’s Tinchy Stryder for Takeover Roc Nation a new, multi-faceted entertainment company. It has been reported that Takeover Roc Nation will focus on management, merchandising, records, and more.

Jay-Z's long awaited book 'Decoded' will finally hit bookstores November 16, the book is a narrative of the famous lyrics and overall life of the multi-platinum rapper. Decoded will break down 36 of his most iconic songs which will be accompanied by illustrations, Jay hopes the book will prove that hip-hop is a fine art form like poetry.

It’s no surprise that a self-penned Jay-Z title has been released. Not one to pass up any opportunity to make money, Decoded is a worthy addition to the plethora of ventures the Brooklyn MC already has to his name.

The hip-hop mogul who is married to Beyonce Knowles is regarded as one of the hippest men on the planet and believes surrounding himself with great women has helped him gain his reputation.

Jay-Z has revealed he is two songs into his next solo record. The rapper who has been busy finishing up a collaborative album entitled Watch the Throne with fellow hip-hop star and producer Kanye West for a little over a year has apparently gotten his mojo back.

Jay-Z & Kanye West have debuted their highly anticipated video for 'Ni**as in Paris'.
