History

1996-2000: Establishment

In 1996, Jay-Z and then-business partners Damon Dash and Biggs Burke needed an avenue to put out Jay's music. With no luck signing to any major labels, they decided to found Roc-A-Fella Records and put out his first album, Reasonable Doubt, independently. Reasonable Doubt is the debut album of East Coast Rapper Jay-Z, released June 25 1996 on Roc-A-Fella Records in the United States They managed to procure distribution from Priority Records; though Reasonable Doubt was not a major commercial success, it was highly acclaimed critically, and (along with a cosign from The Notorious B.I.G.) helped propel Jay-Z to popularity. Priority Records is an American based Record label, owned and operated by EMI, and has made a name for itself dealing primarily in Hip hop music Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21 1972 – March 9 1997 popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a Gangster in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again The early roster consisted of Jay-Z, Sauce Money, and Memphis Bleek; former friend Jaz-O, duo Da Ranjahz, and producers DJ Ski and DJ Clark Kent were also affiliated.

For the film named Streets Is Watching see Streets Is Watching (film Streets Is Watching is the Soundtrack for Vol 2 Hard Knock Life is the third album released by rapper Jay-Z. Vol. 2 was Jay-Z's first platinum release as well as the highest-selling, helping to secure Roc-A-Fella's future as a record label. By this time, Sauce Money had signed straight to Priority to release his album; Jaz-O had become more involved with his own label and roster; and Da Ranjahz had gone separate ways from the label, as had Ski and Clark Kent. In their places a new roster was signed, consisting of Amil and Beanie Sigel. Amil Whitehead more commonly known by her Stage name Amil, is a American female rapper from New York City. Dwight Grant (born on March 6, 1974) also known as Beanie Sigel, is an American Rapper from Philadelphia Pennsylvania In 1999, Jay-Z embroiled himself and (to a lesser extent) the rest of the label in a verbal feud with rapper Nas which lasted until 2002.

The album featured Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek and Jay-Z heavily, with appearances by Amil and Freeway, who was signed shortly thereafter. Lesley Pridgen, better known as Freeway is an American rapper signed to Jay-Z 's Roc-A-Fella imprint under Def Jam Recordings Production was handled largely by Just Blaze and Bink, with input by then-newcomer Kanye West, Rick Rock and The Neptunes.

Jay-Z put out his sixth album, The Blueprint, in 2001, the same year Beanie Sigel released his second album, The Reason. The Blueprint is the sixth Studio album by Rapper Jay-Z. It was released on September 11 2001 (a week earlier than planned The Reason is Hoobastank 's second album It was released on December 9, 2003, under the Island Records label Both were produced mainly by Bink!, Just Blaze, and Kanye West, who influenced the sound of Roc-A-Fella to include sped-up or heavily chopped 70's soul samples over an up-tempo framework of drums and bass. The label's disagreements with Nas began dying down; Amil was dropped from the label; and up until 2003, more and more artists were being signed to the roster. Beanie Sigel and Freeway put together State Property, a group of Philadelphia-based rappers; Cam'ron was signed, putting out his platinum-selling album Come Home With Me in 2002, before bringing his own group The Diplomats to the label. State Property is a rap crew from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA led by Roc-A-Fella Records rapper Beanie Sigel and comprised of Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə Cameron Giles (born February 4 1976) better known by his Stage name Cam'ron, is a Rapper, Songwriter, and Actor Come Home With Me is rapper Cam'ron 's third Album and debut on Roc-A-Fella Records.

From 2002 to 2003, Dame Dash signed several artists in response to Jay-Z's talk of retirement after his 2002 album The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse. The Blueprint² The Gift & The Curse is Rapper Jay-Z 's seventh studio album released in 2002 He signed M.O.P. and Ol' Dirty Bastard, gave Grafh a joint-venture deal, and attempted to sign Twista and Joe Budden.

Music career His debut solo studio album release was the self titled Joe Budden. Rumors of dissent among the ranks began to breed, as sources said Jay-Z wasn't getting along with Dame or Biggs, and Cam'ron was gunning for a CEO position promised to him by Dame Dash, among other things. This ultimately led to talk that Roc-A-Fella was breaking up.

Meanwhile, Beanie Sigel was going through murder trials, eventually leading to a year-long incarceration. Cam'ron's Diplomats and State Property released Diplomatic Immunity and The Chain Gang Vol. 2 respectively in 2003, as well as Freeway's first album Philadelphia Freeway, and Memphis Bleek's third album M.A.D.E.; but the label's highest-profile release that year was Jay-Z's "final" studio album, The Black Album.

Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, and known colloquially as The Garden, has been the name of four Arenas in New York City.

2004 brought Beanie Sigel's incarceration, rape charges against Dame Dash and Jay-Z's retirement. While Cam'ron released his second album Purple Haze and the Young Gunz released their debut, Tough Luv, Kanye West's The College Dropout became the biggest success for the label that year; however, these releases were overshadowed by rumors of goings-on behind the scene. Purple Haze is a song recorded in 1966 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released as a single in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The Young Gunz, composed of Young Chris (born Christopher F Ries on March 9 1983 & Young Neef aka Neef Buck (born Haneef Muhammad on Tough Luv is the debut album by Philly rap group Young Gunz in 2004. The College Dropout is the debut album by Rapper and producer Kanye West, released February 10 2004 When Carter, Dash and Burke finally split as business partners, each artist was given an ultimatum: either stay on Roc-A-Fella, or move to Dame and Biggs' Def Jam-subsidiary Dame Dash Music Group. Dame Dash Music Group is a Record label started by Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke. M. O. P. , Grafh, Cam'ron and seemingly Beanie Sigel opted to move off the Roc; while incarcerated, he released his third album The B. Coming on DDMG. The B Coming is the third album by rapper Beanie Sigel, released by Dame Dash Music Group on March 29, 2005. There also sprouted controversy over the fate of State Property: while Dame claimed Sigel intended to move the group to his label, the rest of the group disagreed, leading to a temporary breakup.

2004-2007: Resurgence

While Jay-Z gained control of Roc-A-Fella, he also stepped up as president of Def Jam, and proceeded to focus more on the latter than the former. Kanye West's second album, Late Registration, was released along with Memphis Bleek's fourth album, 534. Late Registration is the critically acclaimed second studio album by Chicago hip hop artist Kanye West. 534 is the fourth album by Rapper Memphis Bleek. Released by Roc-A-Fella Records on May 17, 2005. Only Kanye's album reached Platinum status. During this time, Foxy Brown was briefly signed to the roster, but along with rumors of Cory Gunz joining the label, nothing materialized. Inga Fung Marchand (born September 6, 1979) better known as Foxy Brown, is an American rapper known for her solo work as well Upon Beanie Sigel's release from prison, speculation began on whether he would return to Roc-A-Fella Records. In 2006, only Jay-Z released an album from Roc-A-Fella: his return album, Kingdom Come, although the signing of Uncle Murda and Tru Life occurred. Kingdom Come is the Grammy-nominated ninth studio album from American rap artist Jay-Z released on November 21, 2006. Tru Life (born Roberto Guzman Rosado) is a Puerto Rican rapper from New York City who is currently signed to Jay-Z 's Roc-A-Fella

Sigel's status would not be made clear until 2007, when he would announce his next release The Solution on the Roc; he would later make clear that he had distanced himself from DDMG because of financial discrepancies. '07 also saw a huge increase in activity as compared to 2006; Kanye West's Graduation, Jay-Z's American Gangster, and Freeway's Free At Last materialized, as well as the signing of former rival Jadakiss. Graduation is the action of receiving or conferring an Academic degree or the associated ceremony The label is currently set to release Sigel's The Solution, as well as a "Roc Boys" mixtape headed by Memphis Bleek and including the entire current roster.

According to a recent interview with Philadelphia rapper Peedi Crakk on MediaTakeOut. Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə com, he and the entire State Property family, including Beanie Sigel and Freeway, have been dropped from Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam. Peedi claims that Jay initially scheduled one-on-one meetings with each rapper to talk, but those meetings never happened. Instead, he sent an A&R from Def Jam out to Philly last week to deliver the bad news. “Which was a hoe move, to me. You could tell us some shit like that face to face,” said Peedi. “Niggas like Beanie Sigel and Freeway and Oschino and Sparks and Chris and Neef…they been there for almost 10 years. ”

Peedi goes on to say that he’s not 100% sure which other artists were dropped, cryptically claiming that “he kept one person. ” However, he also says that the A&R who gave them their walking papers said, “There’s no more Roc-A-Fella. Everyone’s free to leave. ”

While he could not speak for the other artists, Peedi said that he’s happy about being dropped because he was tired of dealing with his album being delayed. “You won’t hear no Peedi Crakk diss songs,” he says. [3]
