My 1st Song

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"My 1st Song" is the last song on Jay-Z's The Black Album. In a sample of an interview with The Notorious B.I.G. at the beginning of the song, the late rapper is heard saying he tries to "treat everything like it's [his] first project." Hence, the name of the song, which Jay-Z is apparently calling his "first song," even though it is the last song on what was to be his last album, as an allusion to what B.I.G. said in the interview.

The song describes Jay-Z growing up on the streets of New York; it was produced by Aqua and Joe "3H" Weinberger for HHH Artists.
