By the time Jay Z had released 1996's Reasonable Doubt, he had already been a known entity in the streets of Brooklyn for a while. What with his tracks with Jaz-O and Big Daddy Kane and his popular battles with LL Cool J, Shawn Carter was on fire before the rest of the world knew who he was. Today, Mass Appeal has dug up a demo tape from Jay's earliest days, and you can listen to it below.
The untitled demo only features one guest, Sauce Money, who shows up on over half of the tracks. Let us know what you think in the comments.
