Roc Nation recently signed some big acts, Jay Electronica, Willow Smith, and J.Cole. Well, seems like HOV wanted to signed legendary and political duo Dead Prez.
However, seems like the group turned down the deal with Roc Nation. Dead Prez wants to remain Independent. This is what they had to say about declining the deal:
“We respect Jay, but we are not signing to Roc Nation,” M-1 tells VIBE. “I’m a fan of what Roc Nation has been doing. I’m a fan of Jay-Z’s music and more than that I’m a fan of his mind…the way that he has positioned himself to make great moves in this business. I’m not one to think that our independence can be usurped by this great hype and potentially great machine that Jay is putting together.”
ahh
