Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

19 recordings credited to Jay‐Z cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 93.3 BPM; 42% of them are in a major key.

No key leads this catalogue: two or more are level at the top, so none is named.

The tempo they cluster in is 80–89 BPM, with 7 of them; the fastest here is I Did It My Way at 166 BPM and the slowest Show You How at 79.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
