Vintage: Jay-Z - Lucky Me


Grand Opening:

I was introduced to this track by a friend sometime last year, believe it or not.

Lucky Me is from Shawn Corey 'Jay-Z' Carter released In My Life: Vol 1 in 1997. I fell in love with Lucky Me which was produced by then Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs.

Jay explained that the album was made during one of the worst periods in his life. He was reeling from the death of his close friend The Notorious B.I.G.. He said that the album was a MUST, that he had to do it, it was the only way for him to 'speak out' about his not-so-picture-perfect up bringing.
Premier and Ski laced some tracks in the album.

He still says if he had one thing to change then it would be Vol. 1 since some of the tracks in there should not have been featured.

Grand Closing:
From Marci to Madison Square, the only thing that's missing is just a matter of years..

and now look...

HOVA Baby!
