Who owns Rockefeller Records?
Jay-Z’s unconventional ascent from Brooklyn’s street corners to corporate boardrooms has caught the attention of billionaire business leaders like Warren Buffet and Oprah Winfrey. After failed attempts at getting signed to a major record label, Jay-Z and his two business partners, Damon Dash and Kareem Burke started their label, Roc-A-Fella Records, in 1996.
He released his debut album later that year, and the Brooklyn rapper eventually caught the attention of label executives. Instead of signing with Def Jam, Jay-Z and his co-founders sold half of Roc-A-Fella to them in 1997 for a reported $1.5 million. Seven years later, Def Jam bought the other half of Roc-A-Fella for $10 million. In 2005, Jay-Z was named CEO of Def Jam in a deal that allowed him to continue to run Roc-A-Fella. He served as CEO for three years.
Damon Dash is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Roc-A-Fella Records, who have filed a lawsuit against Dash in an attempt to halt the auction of Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt album as a minted NFT. However, Dash claims the lawsuit is full of inaccuracies and says he’s actually looking to sell his remaining share of Roc-A-Fella records, for the right price, that is.
