Just like most artists of his time, he started by putting out mixtapes. But it took a while until his talent was recognized and acknowledged. He later began releasing albums. The man has a ton of awards, including 2 Grammys, a feat no other hip hop artist has ever achieved. Oh, and he’s the part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets. They’re a relatively new NBA team.
