Jay-Z goes formal

Rap entrepreneur Jay-Z is planning to revolutionise black fashion with his own line of men's formal-wear.

After breaking away from Rocawear partner Damon Dash, Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - is keen to make a move back into clothes and "wants to refine urban fashion" with an S Carter fashion line, according to his partner Steve Stoute.

The star is currently in negotiations with a number of fashion houses.

He says: "The kids are going to do what they're going to do. I'm going for the guys who came up like I came up - who are still listening to hip-hop and wearing pants sagging off their a**."
