Roc-A-Fella split?

Rumours suggest Roc-A-Fella co-founders Jay-Z and Damon Dash may be parting ways, after reports Dash's lawyers approached other labels, though insiders deny the imprint will close.

Rumours are rife that the co-founders of the Roc-A-Fella label - Jay-Z and Damon Dash - are parting company. The rumours seem to stem from reports that Dash's lawyers have been approaching other record labels with talk a new recording deal. This goes against the agreement Roc-A-Fella have with Island Def Jam - the label and its two founders are meant to be tied to the major for four years. Insiders at Roc-A-Fella deny the imprint may be closed down with Dash going elsewhere and Jay-Z working with Island Def Jam direct.
