The Jay-Z Mixtape created by Kenton Rambsy with acknowledgements to Howard Rambsy II and Saif Sayed, was started and completed in 2018 at Illinois University.
This project dives into the songs looking at lyrics, meanings, and themes, throughout 12 of Jay Z's studio albums. Rambsy doesn't just focus on the meanings in Jay-Z's songs he also strides to explore Jay-Z's musical influences and allusions to other black artists. In this project Rambsy shows hiphop can be studied academically just like African American literature.
The site given was made on Scalar, the music ties to cultural themes.
The main audience for this project is primarily university admin, professors, or any other person interested in Jay-Z.
The project connects to DH by using lyrics as data.
