Don't Miss Jay-Z On VH1 October 3, 2007 At 8:30PM!

Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Roc-A-Fella Records) - Shawn (JAY-Z) Carter is one of today's most influential figures. "Fade To Black" reveals the multiple Grammy Award winning artist as never before. The film chronicles his legendary concert at Madison Square Garden in November 2003 that featured guest performances by Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Foxy Brown, Pharrell, and Questlove and The Illadelphonics along with appearances by hip hop icons Rick Rubin, Slick Rick, P. Diddy and many others.
Viewers get a rare glimpse into JAY -Z's creative process. Narrated by JAY -Z himself, his account of the night takes on reflections of his musical career and his journey that led to this one astounding, fabled evening-rightfully called "Fade To Black."

And premiering at 11 PM is VH1's latest addition to the 'Classic Albums' franchise that takes us back through the whole creative process behind JAY -Z's stunning first release "Reasonable Doubt." Initially as a performer racking up an incredibly successful string of hit singles and albums and later as an executive, having taken on the presidency of Def Jam Records in 2004. The first hip hop album to be featured in the series, "Reasonable Doubt" is still considered by many to be his finest achievement.
