Vol Hard Knock Life is the third studio album by American rapper Jay-Z. It was released on September 29, 1998, by Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings. It went on to become his most commercially successful album, selling over 5 million copies in the United States. In the liner notes of the album, Jay-Z gives his thoughts on various tracks. The lyrics to the fast-paced "Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator 99)" are also included.
Released September 29, 1998. Vol. ard Knock Life Tracklist. 1. Intro - Hand It Down (Ft. Memphis Bleek & Pain In Da Ass) Lyrics. 2. Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) Lyrics. The bonus track Money Ain’t A Thang was a massive hit for Jermaine Dupri, appearing on his record Life in 1472. In 2013 Jay ranked Vol. 2 his 4th best album, beating out American Gangster. In 2012 he said: It was just so pure. I wanted Dame Grease, ‘cause he was workin’ on the DMX album It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot. I was like, ‘Where’s the guy that’s making all of those songs?’ He came in, he played those songs. We went from my office to the studio, we made four record. rom there, the body of the album was in place. ard Knock Life Q&A.

Vol Hard Knock Life is the third album by American rapper Jay-Z, released in 1998 on Roc-A-Fella Records. Several tracks in this feature a rougher sound than the glossier Bad Boy production on In My Lifetime, Vol. 1, most notably the three songs produced by Ruff Ryders beatmaker Swizz Beatz. Stevie J. is the only Bad Boy-associated artist to produce the album, though Jay-Z enlisted Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri and Irv Gotti for a more pop-oriented sound on three of the album's singles.
Jay-Z Hard Knock Life. Jay-Z had established himself as a savvy, street-smart rapper on those two records, but with Hard Knock Life he decides to shoot for crossover territory, for better and for worse
