Rappers From New York City Have Always Been A Huge Influence To Hip Hop For Listeners And Fans

By Nick Durso


Many hip hop artists start at an early age. In order to be able to stick around and not be a "one hit wonder," artists need to focus on music as a career. Some artists only have one song and we never hear from them again.

Only a few rappers understand this concept. In order to build a brand and longevity, hip hop must be your life. You must have an entrepreneurial mind set to grow. Some artists just have the music side down 100%. That is why you need a team. The ones who are the true entrepreneurs are the artists who put the money they make back into their brand. Let's talk about some New York rappers that know this concept.

Any one who is a New York City music lover is familiar with 50 Cent and G-Unit. 50 Cent is a legend in NYC for all of rap and hip hop. He is also a very smart and intelligent entrepreneur who owns some well known name companies. He was born in the year 1975 in Jamaica, Queens. BET, The Grammy's, and many more have awarded 50 Cent's achievements. He has also broadened his talents to make movies as an actor, and own large companies such as Vitamin Water. G-Unit clothing, and founder of SK Energy.

Another awesome rapper from the state of New York is extremely popular. Jay-Z is a New York rap legend. All New York music lovers will always remember him. Similar to 50 Cent, Jay-Z too owns businesses, and record labels. He is one of the most financially successful hip-hop artists and entrepreneurs in America. He is the former owner of Def Jam Records, as well as other numerous well-known businesses.

There are so many well-known hip-hop artists that come from New York City. The two mentioned above are some of the most well known people in the world. One thing that makes them so successful is that they use their money to make the money. This is key. In order to set everything up correctly, you must create a foundation then build from there. These two individuals have done just that.

New York City is a very difficult place to get ahead. For these two individuals they have exceeded their expectations and goals by becoming the best. Hopefully we begin to see new hip hop artists follow their footsteps and become just as successful entrepreneurs as Jay-Z and 50 Cent.
