One of the World’s most successful and influential musicians is coming to Aberdeen as part of his 2008 UK tour. Seven times Grammy award-winning, Jay-Z, will play at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre’s (AECC’s) Press and Journal Arena on 21, July 2008.

Jay-Z’s latest tour follows the release of his tenth album, ‘American Gangster’, in November 2007. The tour also includes headlining performances at this year’s Glastonbury and O2 Wireless festivals, making him the first ever hip-hop artist to headline a British festival.

The hip-hop supremo is known for his ability to compose songs and lyrics without the need for pen and paper, while his 2006 comeback album, ‘Kingdom Come’, sold nearly 700,000 copies in its first week of release.  In addition to a successful solo career, Jay-Z has collaborated with likes of Linkin Park, R Kelly and his partner, Beyonce Knowles. He is also the former CEO and president of Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fela Records who’s portfolios have included the likes of The Beastie Boys, Kanye West and Rihanna.
