The driver for the increase is streaming. Hip-hop/R&B overtook rock in 2017 as the most popular genre of music in the U.S. This catalog is a perfect example of two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. Finally, Jay-Z just wrapped a multi-country tour with wife Beyoncé, with the On the Run II, that ended in October 2018. He is also a well-established businessman as co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, founder of the entertainment company Roc Nation and the sports agency Roc Nation Sports. In 2017, Jay-Z became the first hip-hop artist inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. What's also exciting is that Jay-Z might be even more relevant today than when “Empire State of Mind” was released in 2009.
