A newly discovered photo from 1939 has sparked accusations that Jay-Z is a time traveler.

The photo, which was posted on the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center blog, features a man who bears a striking resemblance to the hip-hop star.

It was taken in Harlem, New York, and shows the man in a flat cap leaning against a railing.

The Schomburg Center blog captioned the photo with the question, “Does the man on the right remind you of someone? Perhaps it was his great-grandfather taking a break in Harlem in 1939.”

The photo quickly gained attention and was reposted on Reddit and Buzzfeed with humorous comments questioning if Jay-Z was either a time traveler or a vampire. However, the identity of the man in the photo remains unknown.

The Schomburg Center blog asked if anyone could put a real name to the young man in the picture.

Despite the attention being drawn to the photo, Jay-Z’s recent accomplishments in the entertainment industry cannot be ignored. The rapper served as the executive producer for the soundtrack of the latest Great Gatsby film.

The film’s director, Baz Luhrmann, praised Jay-Z’s work on the soundtrack and stated in an interview with MTV, “He totally nailed that the book was aspirational.”

“That the book was really about, if you’ve got a cause, you can move towards a green light.”

“That you don’t reach it isn’t the point; that you aspire is.”

Jay-Z’s role as the executive producer allowed him to oversee the film’s score, which included contributions from prominent artists such as Lana Del Rey, The xx, Jack White, Beyoncé, and Andre 3000 of OutKast.

The rapper’s involvement in the film’s soundtrack and the positive reception from Luhrmann highlights Jay-Z’s talent and success in the music industry.

While the photo may have sparked speculation about Jay-Z being a time traveler, his recent accomplishments and influence in the entertainment industry cannot be denied.

The photo remains a mystery, but one thing is certain – Jay-Z’s impact in the music industry will be felt for years to come.
