Though known for his personal homages to New York City in songs such as 'Brooklyn's Finest' and 'Empire State of Mind,' hip-hop icon Jay-Z announced Monday that, upon closer reflection, he actually prefers the Greater Orlando area to the Big Apple. 'New York is gritty and real and helped shape both my music and my life, but OrlandoOrlando has it all,' said the 40-year-old recording artist. 'Plenty of shops, amazing restaurants, and you're only minutes away from Universal Studios. Plus, Orlando is just a really great place to raise a family.' Jay-Z went on to declare that if you could make it in KissimmeeSt. Cloud, you could probably make it anywhere.
