As if he wasn’t already into just about everything, from music to broadway, Jay-Z has now launched another website called Life + Times. As Forbes puts it, that site is aimed at “gentleman who are discerning enough to buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, watch video about Jean-Michel Basquiat, and care about the “internal perspective” of Studio Alhadeff Architects and its principal designer, Giancarlo Alhadeff.”
Don’t expect a table of contents or river of news here. The site’s design is focused on the visual, with each story represented by an image in a grid. Hovering over the image gives you the title and topic while clicking opens up the content. Topics on the site include: Style, Leisure, Art & Design, Technology, Music, and Sports. You might find anything from music and an interview with Killer Reese One and DJ/Producer Troublemaker to a sit-down with RIM VP of Industrial Design Todd Wood to discuss the design of the latest Blackberry.
You can also check Jay’s tour schedule and connect on Facebook. Of course, as always, Tweets is watching. What do you think about Jay’s new site?
