Jay-Z is one of the world’s most famous rappers. He has a fashion line, a chain of upscale sports bars, and a share of the New Jersey (soon to be Brooklyn) Nets.

Bear with the first bit of this interview so you can get to the juicy bit, which talks about Chair Entertainment’s next big thing: Empire. They decided to kick off their franchise by commissioning a book, Empire, written by Orson Scott Card. That was then licensed to Warner Bros for a film and now they’re going to make it a game.
