Jay-Z Wants You To Enjoy the Holidays

Here are five ways to find peace during the holidays before the end of the year

What’s goody, readers? Joel Leon here, your friendly neighborhood storyteller, slowly wrapping up what has been a rollercoaster of a year with the second-to-last weekly “What Would Hov Do?” Medium column. Still out here, taking the latest and greatest of your woes and helping you get through it all with the help of the one of the greatest scribes of generation, Sir Jay-Z.

If there’s an issue you’re struggling with: dealing with a breakup, financial trouble, style questions, loss of a job or loved one, can’t find your rescue cat, we got you. Drop your question here and high-key me and Jay-Z gonna help you solve it (or at least give you a nice talking point for your next Zoom call.)

With the holidays approaching, I decided to do something different. Rather than answer a question from the reading audience, I’ve decided to use the oft used listicle format to help y’all get through a season of caroling without karate chopping your grandma for her political views. I’ve chosen five Jay Z lyrics that I think will help give us all a little clarity and direction heading into what will be for many of us a stress ridden and new kind of holiday celebration.
