DAMON DASH IS BACK ON ROCKAFELLA RECORDS



DAMON DASH WILL BE RELEASING ARTIST ON ROCKAFELLA RECORDS SOON THE FIRST ARTIST WILL BE NEW ORLEANS OWN CURREN$Y DAMON SAYS:

 "I think we just having fun, really, [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?' " "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."

 HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT ROCKAFELLA ORIGINS HE SAYS:

 "The funny thing is, people don't know that Roc-A-Fella wasn't meant to sell records," Dame said. "It was meant to show the respect and the honor amongst each other as friends. It was a friendship thing. That's what people liked. It's what made Roc-A-Fella appealing. It's odd, because I f--- with [Curren$y]. I kinda like him. When I met him, I wasn't as familiar with his music. My nephews and Sean O'Connell put me up on him. I liked him as a friend. Then I start seeing he's super nice with the rhymes, then I started seeing his influence. It's similar to the way we felt back in those days. It's working out." It seems that Curren$y realizes that he's highly thought of as an artist, as he spoke on being a part of the lagacy: "What that means, what that shows me, is that dude thinks as highly of me as I do him, 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."

 MY QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU IS DO YOU THINK THAT DAMON WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD THE ROCKAFELLA BRAND BY HIMSELF. LETS NOT FORGET IT WAS JAY-Z WHO HELPED PUT ROCKAFELLA ON THE MAP SO CAN DAMON DO IT ALL BY HIMSELF?? WE WILL SOON FIND OUT.
