Roc-A-Fella CEO
Damon Dash has dismissed recent reports that he and business partner and friend
Jay-Z are considering carving up their Roc empire, which include film, clothing
and recording ventures.
"We are a
team and there is no beef between me and Jay," Dame Dash told AllHipHop.com.
Despite recent
set backs in the way of star rapper Beanie Sigel being incarcerated for attempted
murder charges, Dash remained optimistic.
"The Young
Gunz are getting 4,000 [radio] spins and I am very proud of them," Dash
said. "Beanie is detained, but he will be out very soon to make movies."
Dash has good reason
to be optimistic. State Property’s State Property Presents the Chain Gang
