Which 1996 Jay-Z album was his debut studio album and included the song "Dead Presidents II"?

Jay-Z released his debut studio album, Reasonable Doubt, in 1996.

The album arrived on June 25, 1996, through Roc-A-Fella Records and Priority Records. Its songs presented Jay-Z's detailed accounts of ambition, street commerce, luxury, loyalty, and self-doubt. Key tracks included "Dead Presidents II," "Ain't No Nigga," and "Can’t Knock the Hustle."

Reasonable Doubt did not immediately sell as strongly as some of Jay-Z's later albums, but it developed a major critical reputation. Listeners often praise its vivid writing, restrained production, and cohesive portrait of a young rapper establishing his identity in New York's competitive scene.

It is sometimes confused with The Blueprint, Jay-Z's 2001 album, because both are frequently named among his best work. Reasonable Doubt is specifically his first studio album, while later releases expanded his mainstream profile and business influence.
