While Jay-Z is starting to set the foundation with his Roc Nation imprint on Sony, Dame Dash has plans of his own with the "old" Roc-A-Fella. Dame was able to helm the newly resurrected Roc-A-Fella through a new deal with L.A. Reid and Def Jam, which will distribute the label's new releases.
Def Jam has chose to resurrect the label with Dame at the helm. Will this be a Hov left at Def Jam.
"I think we just having fun, really," said Dash, sitting in his office at DD172 next to Curren$y. "[Curren$y] inspired me to dust off the chains. We brought 'em out for kicks, just 'cause we could. Then we was like, 'F--- it, let's put it out through Roc-A-Fella.' It was really more something he wanted to do. Basically, 'cause we havin' such a good time, and the opportunity's there, we was like, 'Why not?' "
"What that means, what that shows me, is that dude thinks as highly of me as I do him," Curren$y said about releasing an LP on the label Dash co-founded with Jay-Z and Kareem "Biggs" Burke in the mid-1990s. "I know what's behind that. We all know and the fans know what that represented at the height of it. The aesthetic of it."
The label's first release will be Curren$y's "Pilot Talk" on June 15.
