Jay-Z launches a new website to celebrate 30 years of music.
On Friday (Feb. 20), Jay-Z launched a new website, JayZ30.com, to mark the 30th anniversary of both the release of his song "Dead Presidents," which dropped on Feb. 20, 1996, and his three-decade-long music career. On Roc Nation's Instagram account, which can be viewed below, images of Jay-Z — with the umlaut over the ÿ — are featured along with the announcement that his song, "Dead Presidents," is now available on digital streaming platforms for the first time ever.
The classic get-money anthem, produced by Ski Beatz, samples Nas' line from the Illmatic standout "The World Is Yours," where he raps, "I'm out for dead presidents to represent me." The single was released independently through the now-defunct music label, Roc-A-Fella Records, which Jay-Z co-founded with Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke.
