Jay-Z
Jay-Z是美國的饒舌歌手，音樂製作人，以及美國最成功的企業家之一。榮獲14座葛萊美獎，唱片銷售在全球更超過五千萬張。Jay-Z在許多音樂排行榜當中常名列前茅，包含滾石雜誌的史上五百張最佳專輯排行榜、最佳音樂家排行榜、年度最佳饒舌歌手排行榜等。其中兩張專輯更被視為是嘻哈饒舌界的里程碑，兩張分別是1996的Reasonable Doubt以及2001的The Blueprint。他的音樂技巧讓他被形容為"流動大師 (Master of Flow)"，他在音樂裡非常注重於流動，並可自在的變換流動的速度。Jay-Z也常利用音樂上的空白點及"部分連接"的方式為段落添加更多的押韻。他像許多饒舌歌手一樣可在腦袋裡作詞，並在現場演出時使用流動感以及巧妙的雙關語來吸引觀眾的注意力。
