Jay-Z Coming To Montreal After More Than 10 Years!
Loading ...Back in 1998, Jay-Z released his third album, Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life, which received immense support from the fans and also spawned the biggest hit of his career at the time, Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem). The North American Hard Knock Life Tour followed in the next year, with Jigga headlining alongside label mate DMX, who at the time had gained much commercial success as well. On March 11 1999, Montreal was one of the cities which received the headliners and Montrealer fans were given the chance to throw the Roc for the first time in front of their idol and one of rap’s first greats since the 2Pac/Biggie era.
10 years and 7 successful albums later, Jay-Z is now the predominant figure in the rap industry, and at the young age of 38, also one of the music industry most successful entrepreneurs. If that wasn’t enough, on September 14th 2009 (two days ago), he released his 11th studio album, The Blueprint³, officially completing his Blueprint trilogy and ironing out any details about his position as the greatest in the game today, period. To promote his recent release, Jigga will kick off a supporting tour on October 9th, and visit 20 North American cities. Luckily for us, Montreal’s Bell Center was announced as one of the venues and tickets have already gone on sale. If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, you can do so RIGHT HERE.
On October 30th, The Roc will be in the building!
