Roc Nation
Roc Nation is the New York entertainment company Jay-Z founded in 2008 as the successor to Roc-A-Fella Records, set up through his 10-year, $150 million deal with Live Nation. Its record label was built to sign pop and hip-hop artists, and the company also runs management and sports divisions from offices in New York, Los Angeles and London.
J. Cole was the label's first signing, and his 2011 debut Cole World came out through Roc Nation and Columbia. Rihanna, Rapsody, Snoh Aalegra, Westside Gunn and The Lox have all been on the roster since, while Alicia Keys and Megan Thee Stallion have been management clients rather than label artists.
Distribution went through Sony from 2009, then Universal Music Group from 2013. In 2024 Roc Nation Records merged with Equity Distribution to form Roc Nation Distribution, which released Clipse's Let God Sort 'Em Out in 2025, Pusha T and Malice's first album together in 16 years.
