Paying homage to his roots and hustle, “Marcy to Barclays” documents Jay-Z’s meteoric rise from some of the meanest housing projects in New York to part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets who now make their home in the Barclays Center.

Presented as both a thought-piece and slice of advertisement, it’s clear that Brooklyn has Jay-Z’s heart.
