JAŸ-Z‘s summer 2026 takeover continues. His next stop? The Brooklyn Public Library, once again.
Preceding his three-night stint at Yankee Stadium, HOV is running back his partnership with the storied cultural institution to present a limited run of custom library cards. Created in close collaboration with Roc Nation comes the JAŸ-Z 30 Limited Edition Library Card, honoring the 30th anniversary of the Brooklyn-born rapper’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
A collectable commemoration of the occasion, the new cards follow up on HOV’s first collaboration with the Brooklyn Public Library back in 2023, when he brought his retrospective Book of HOV exhibit to the Grand Army Plaza BPL branch. His legendary 1993 Lexus GS 300 was parked out front, and a lineup of limited-release library cards landed in homage to all 13 of JAŸ-Z’s 13 solo albums.
Starting on June 25 – the day in 1996 when Reasonable Doubt was released – the JAŸ-Z 30 Limited Edition Library Card will be available at all Brooklyn Public Library locations systemwide on a first-come, first-served basis.
Specific to the Marcy Library location, JAŸ-Z has also curated his own bookshelf of personal reading selections. Billed “JAŸ-Z’s Bookshelf,” the range of reading material – all donated by Roc Nation – highlights books that have influenced JAŸ throughout his life and career.
