VIDEO: Dame Dash Relaunches Roc-A-Fella Records
MTV-
"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$y are pushing a positive message about friendship and evolution.
"It's a way more positive movement," he added about the label's new incarnation. "It's what I wanted Roc-A-Fella, what I thought it should be 10 years after I started it."
Dash said he secured the new deal through L.A. Reid and Def Jam, which will serve as a distributor for his records.
After Curren$y's album, the next project coming off Roc-A-Fella will be Ski Beatz's 24 Hour Karate School mixtape.

I with DJ Scream. Jones maintained that they are going to start working real heavy on their Diplomats project.
"Me and Cam both got our own things going on, solo projects and label situations, but we going to put this Diplomat thing together real funky. That powerful music will be back at you," Jones said. "It should be a good Christmas stocking stuffer, but we're going to heat it up like the summer."
