Damon Dash Resurrects Roc-A-Fella Records Without Jay-Z, Preps 1st Release
MTV Shows
The last album to come out on
Roc-A-Fella
was
Jadakiss' The Last Kiss
in April 2009. The label had been under Jay-Z's sole custody since the breakup of
Hov
, Biggs and Dash.
"
Def Jam or Universal bought the brand. I think the 'beef' [with us and Jay-Z] was that Jay made it clear he didn't want me or Biggs to be a part of it. That's really where it was at. Now that he doesn't work for Def Jam anymore, he doesn't have the right to use the name. So there's no reason for us not to use it. It's there, and it's a brand that's not being used. So I was like, 'I'll take it.' It always meant something to me
."
Dash said he and Curren$y are pushing a positive message about friendship and evolution.
"
It's a way more positive movement
," he added about the label's new incarnation. "
It's what I wanted Roc-A-Fella, what I thought it should be 10 years after I started it
."
Dash said he secured the new deal through
L.A. Reid
and
Def Jam
, which will serve as a distributor for his records.
