離開長期合作的 Def Jam 及環球音樂集團 Jay-Z 與 Live Nation 出資開設的 Roc Nation 與索尼音樂集團的合作幾近定案不過，雖然 Jay-Z 與 Columbia 唱片共同主席 Rick Rubin 的關係密切但 Roc Nation 的出貨發行預計將由另一廠牌 Epic 唱片負責。 Jay-Z 令人高度注目的新作「The Blueprint 3」預計將是 Roc Nation 與 Epic 協力發行的首發作品。 Jay-Z Close To Epic Records Deal May 27, 2009 05:39 PM ET Mariel Concepcion, N.Y. Jay-Z is close to signing a deal that will bring his future recordings to Sony, Billboard sources confirm. The deal -- which will link Jay-Z's Roc Nation releases with Sony's Epic Records for distribution -- "is 95% complete" according to people familiar with the ongoing negotiations. A formal announcement is expected in the coming weeks. Just last week, Jay-Z confirmed his departure from longtime label home Def Jam. His split from the Universal Music Group-owned label reportedly came with a $5 million price tag, but left the rap artist and label executive in control of his future master recordings. Jay-Z's eleven solo records (including the live "Unplugged" album) and collaborations with Linkin Park and R. Kelly have sold more than 29 million units according to Nielsen SoundScan. Last year, Jay-Z and Live Nation struck a wide-ranging deal that included touring, publishing and albums. The roughly $150 million pact includes a partnership in Roc Nation, as well as the rapper's own recordings and tours for the next 10 years. "He definitely didn't want to release his album via Def Jam," said a UMG source. "And given his close relationship with [Columbia Records Co-Chairman] Rick Rubin, it comes as no surprise that he'd make the switch." Speculation has intensified in the past week that a Sony deal is in the works. Sony CEO Howard Stringer and Jay-Z's Roc Nation partner Jay Brown have been spotted meeting in Los Angeles and New York; Epic Records president Amanda Ghost is managed by Roc Nation and Brown; and Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce, is a Sony artist on the Columbia Records label. But despite Jay-Z's close ties to Columbia, sources insist he and his wife will not be labelmates. "It will be a distribution deal, sort of like Star Trak is distributed by Interscope, and it will be on the Epic side, not Columbia," a Billboard's source said. Lawyers for both sides are currently hashing out the details. If the deal goes through, Jay-Z highly-anticipated eleventh studio album, "The Blueprint 3," will most likely be the first release on Roc Nation to be distributed by Epic. http://ppt.cc/4C7V -- 　┌┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┬┐ ┌┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┐ ┼┼┼ ┼┼┼ ┼┼┼ ｏ　　ｒ　　ａ　　ｎ　　ｇ　　ｅ　　ｐ　　ｅ　　ｋ　　ｏ　　ｅ　┼┼┼　 └┼┼　　　　　　 ┼┼┘ 　└┴┴┴┴┴┴┴ ○ http://www.wretch.cc/blog/faustlin ○ ┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┘ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.168.85.202 ※ 編輯: orangepekoe 來自: 118.168.85.202 (05/28 11:56) ※ 編輯: orangepekoe 來自: 118.168.90.151 (05/28 16:51)
