Hip-hop legend Jay-Z is set to receive one of music’s highest honours as his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, gets inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Released in 1996, the album introduced Jay-Z’s sharp lyricism and streetwise storytelling, laying the foundation for his rise to rap royalty.

Despite a slow commercial start, Reasonable Doubt has since been recognized as one of hip-hop’s most influential albums.

Featuring collaborations with icons like The Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige, the project is widely regarded as a classic that redefined the genre.
