Roc-A-Fella Records is an American hip hop/rap record label. It was co-founded in 1996 in New York City by hip hop mogul Damon “Dame” Dash, Kareem “Biggs” Burke, and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. The label is owned by Universal Music Group.
Attempting to secure a record deal for Jay-Z, after being denied by several labels, they began pressing Jay’s records, selling them out of their trunks and requesting time on mix radio; their record label was called Roc-A-Fella Records: a play on Rockefeller, a rich and powerful New York family.
Priority Records was impressed with their determination, and agreed to distribute the release of Jay-Z’s debut album Reasonable Doubt, put out on Roc-A-Fella.
The original lineup, headed in the business department by, Dame Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, consisted of Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and Sauce Money. Jaz-O and Da Ranjahz were early affiliates, but were never signed to the label. Producers connected to the label were Ski and DJ Clark Kent. Altogether, signees and affiliates formed a collective sometimes known as Team Roc.
