Jay Z Wins Masters Over Two Albums In Court

According to TMZ, Jay Z has won ownership over ownership of his two albums The Life and Times of S. Carter and The Dynasty. Chauncey Mahan, a former sound engineer for Roc-a-fella back in the day, held the albums hostage in a storage facility in San Fernando Valley and claimed ownership for them. However,  the court ruled that the case was too old to bring up and sue now, so Jay Z won the Masters for both tracks.

Smart move Mr. Carter, smart move.
