Jay-Z — Reasonable Doubt

Double LP on Black Vinyl, Compact Disc or Cassette Tape Originally released in 1996, Jay-Z’s debut album has been reissued to mark its 30th Anniversary. Reasonable Doubt is still considered by many to be his finest achievement. A much harder hitting and edgy record than his later more polished and pop-orientated releases, it announced to the world that a new rap star had arrived. The album features production by DJ Premier, Clark Kent, Big Jaz, and Damon Dash. Jay-Z has been one of the most influential figures in Black American music since the mid-’90s. Initially as a performer racking up an incredibly successful string of hit singles and albums and later as an executive, having taken on the presidency of Def Jam Records in 2004. Released: 6/26/26
