As a fledgling rapper, Jay-Z was tutored by his neighborhood homie, Jaz aka Jaz-O aka Big Jaz. Together they formed a relatively short-lived group called High Potent.

Observing Jaz's experiences gave a teenaged Shawn Carter valuable lessons in the art and business of music. Jay-Z got his start on recordings for first High Potent in the late 80's

  • It was cool as hell to work AND know these guys back in the day! My "Get Live" label mates!! I'll never forget bringing them (HP AND Fresh Gordon) to the Pittsburgh Colliseum for our show called the New York Connection!

  • @Lonnie3d Hey do you have any more music from then? And thank you for sharing hip hop history! Please share more!

  • This is pretty amazing, good work on bringing this to the public, but this pic is from 1988 and the song is from 85/86.

  • It's always interesting to hear a rapper's earliest work.

  • I'm a good friend of Jazz and Jay-z and was in our friend Gordon Pickett's recording studio/House when most of all the early demos were done. Jay-z did not lie about selling drugs, almost everybody the hood sold drugs when they felt they needed to.

  • Who the hell is Joy and Easy L. Lol anyone got links

  • damn, hiphop was all about having fun in the 80s.

  • classic

  • its amazing to hear a rappers very first time rapping and then compare it to now after they become famous, (and hopefully a lot better)

  • I'm more of a mid 90s guy myself but hip hop was so fun back in the 80s.

  • @Habib24202

    It's crazy how much further Jay peers were like LL, Rakim, Kane, etc even tho he was they age. They were so much further that Jay got grouped with Nas and BIG. Talk about the greatest turn around in history.

  • @kell7wlt Jay-z did fuck Jaz over though

  • @DaMostEnigmatic i was -6 in '86 :D

  • I was only 2 in '86

  • Jay-z was born in 1969
