It is remarkable where Jay-Z stands now in contrast when he was working towards making a name for himself. To build a buzz around a project about to drop and to broaden the fan base in general it was common for hip hop artists during the 90\u2019s to hop on r&amp;b tracks and remixes. Jay-Z in February and March of 1996 had dropped the singles \u201cDead Presidents\u201d and \u201cAint No Playa\u201d featuring Foxy Brown for his debut album <strong><em>Reasonable Doubt<\/em><\/strong> which was set to drop in June of that year.\u00a0 At this time Jay-Z was still working close with DJ Clark Kent who had been putting him on remixes since the early 90s and <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/jay-z-and-dj-clark-kent-on-the-come-up\/\">collaborating on demo tracks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jay-Z \u2013 Dead Presidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VWUDEgmJ2Yg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Jay-Z \u2013 Aint No Playa featuring Foxy Brown<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B13cr1SXKCY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clark Kent, to maintain high visibility for Jay-Z\u00a0 put him on a remix to SWV\u2019s top 5 smash hit \u201cYou\u2019re the One\u201d that was released in April of that year.
