this is what mass appeal doing

  • Nas & DJ Premier: A collaborative album from the two artists.
  • Ghostface Killah: A sequel to his 2000 classic, titled Supreme Clientele 2.
  • Mobb Deep: The first album since the passing of Prodigy, with Infinite releasing on CD October 10, 2025.
  • Raekwon: A new album titled Emperor's New Clothes.
  • De La Soul: The first album since the passing of Trugoy the Dove.
  • Big L: A posthumous release, featuring re-released and re-mixed versions of his songs.
  • Surprise guest: The series also includes a project from an unannounced artist.




    I think Roc Nation has some shyt with an artist named piccolo and an album for the NFL. Yikes.



edit my bad; here's the google


Other 2025 releases and music highlights
  • V Don released a project in January 2025 through Roc Nation Distribution.
  • The Roc Nation website showcases additional artists with music released in 2025, including Benny the Butcher ("Summer '25") and Isaiah Falls featuring Alex Isley ("Just A Dream").
  • In October, the company celebrated artist A$AP Rocky's birthday and highlighted music from Ayra Starr and Kalan.FrFr on social media.

Don't see why the comparisons are necessary

Considering Roc Nation is more than just a label... They have produced multiple Emmy winning Superbowl performances including Kendrick Lamar's


Mass Appeal is more than just a label too.

They released and distributed many films and television shows, including the Emmy nominated Supreme Team documentary, the Video Music Box documentary, Wu-Tang’s of Mics & Men documentary, Netflix’s Rapture series, A&E’s Origins of Hip Hop series, and many more. Mass Appeal also coordinated the majority of the Hip Hop is 50 events and the concert in the Bronx

Operating on two different levels, Roc Nation has some of the biggest artists in the world, Mass Appeal is minute in comparison.

Jay has also helped a lot of artists behind the scenes get out of bad deals or restructure their deals. Hitboy was just saying how Jay got him out of the deal he was trapped in since 19. We've heard about Meek, Meg, Wayne, Maino, Clipse etc. He's been trying to help Stove God recently. He never talks about this shyt, it's always someone else, so imagine how much we don't hear about. Nas and Jay are both doing their part.

I mean Rocnation is significantly more successful than mass appeal. What are we talking about here.
