1939 Jay-Z look-alike

1939 Jay-Z look-alike, New York, May 11: A photo of man that looks remarkably like Jay-Z in a photograph dating back to Harlem in 1939 has surfaced online.

The image, taken by Sid Grossman, forms part of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center's collection.

The NYPL's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is hoping that someone would know the identity of the man in the picture, the New York Post reported.

The photo has received more than 200 'likes' since it was posted on the center's Facebook page on Friday. (ANI)
