This man is EMI Music Publishing executive Jon Platt. He took a song (or a hook, actually) from Angela Hunte and Jane’t “Jnay” Sewell-Ulepic, two songwriters signed to EMI, and sent it to Jay-Z. Next day, Jay-Z recorded his verses. And then they got Alicia Keys on it. And that’s how Jay-Z’s first ever number-one Billboard single was created. A few months later:
Platt kept hearing about the record and realized he hadn’t heard any part of it. He had been playing the demo still thinking about what could be.
A couple of months passed, and he and Jay traded e-mail messages. “Man, I haven’t heard the song yet. The first time I’m gonna hear it is when it’s on the radio,” Platt recalled writing to the rapper, as a hint to send the song his way.
“Ain’t that a beautiful thing,” Jay wrote back, according to Platt, drawing a laugh from him.
