Often discussed, but rarely shown in recent years, Jay-Z has become one of the most-powerful men in the industry. Upon leaving Def Jam, Jay-Z partnered with Live Nation to create Roc Nation. The company consists of a record label, management company, and sports management.
Establishing partnerships with Def Jam, Columbia Records, and Atlantic Records, the roster is huge. The Roc Nation talent includes J. Cole, Rihanna, Kanye West, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Kevin Durant, and Angie Martinez, among others. Nothing but power moves.
Yesterday, Jay-Z hosted a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles. All of the a-list names in hip hop were present. Several photos were shared to the audience to see of Jay-Z with these industry players, many of which are his business associates. Photos included Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nas, and Steve Stoute.
