Jay-Z Moves Roc Nation To Universal Music

After leaving in 2007, Jay-Z has inked a multi-year deal with Universal Music for his Roc Nation brand, bringing over his artists like Rihanna, J. Cole and Shakira amongst others.

Although no details of the deal have been disclosed, Universal states that Roc Nation will serve as “standalone label” under the UMG umbrella.

Here’s what Jay-Z had to say about the move.

“This agreement presents a unique opportunity for Roc Nation’s artists—being able to continue to operate as an independent label with the strength, power and reach of the best major. I look forward to a long and prosperous collaboration with UMG. It feels good to be home.”

Shakira y'know, is with Roc Nation management, though. She'll be using their in-house songwriters and producers on her albums, and they're handling her tour.

No wonder J. Cole keeps stopping and starting his promotion for album 2

In April 2008, Live Nation partnered with Jay-Z to create Roc Nation.[1][2][3] Roc Nation has a record label named Star Roc and an entertainment company named Takeover Roc Nation, located in the United Kingdom, and it also covers Europe; the company releases records with Sony Music Entertainment and partners with Live Nation.[4][5]
In 2008 American hip hop artist Jay-Z and Norwegian songwriters-producers Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen of the production duo Stargate formed the label "Star Roc". The label is a 50/50 partnership between Stargate and Jay-Z's Roc Nation entertainment company, which he signed in the same year to Live Nation. StarRoc is headquartered at Jay-Z's recording studio, Roc the Mic, in Manhattan, New York City, United States.[6][7][8][9]

Stargate is a Norwegian record producing and songwriting team, composed of Tor Erik Hermansen (born 14 October 1972) and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen (born in 1972), based in New York City. The team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. Stargate was established in Trondheim, Norway.
Stargate broke into the American recording industry in 2006, with the release of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, "So Sick", produced and co-written by the team and performed by singer Ne-Yo. They also produced and co-wrote with singer Beyoncé Knowles her worldwide hit single "Irreplaceable"
