\n\tRoc Nation and its music distribution wing, Equity Distribution, have merged to form Roc Nation Distribution, sources tell Billboard<\/em>. As part of this new formation, all artists currently signed to Roc Nation the label will be under ROC Nation Distribution.<\/p>\n

\n\tSources add that ROC Nation Distribution will continue to sign artists and offer myriad services similar to those provided by Equity Distribution. Established in 2019, Equity Distribution works with independent artists who wish to retain ownership of their masters. Under the leadership of president Krystian Santini<\/strong>, Equity offers a range of services including in-house marketing and publishing administration. Notably, they have worked with independent artists like Mach-Hommy<\/a> and Tinashe<\/a> and brought Jay-Z<\/a>\u2018s 1996 debut album, Reasonable Doubt<\/em>, to streaming services in 2019.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of the move, Shari Bryant<\/strong>, co-president of Roc Nation\u2019s record label, has stepped down from her post. Bryant became co-president<\/a> alongside Omar Grant<\/strong> in 2019 after former label president Benny Pough<\/strong> departed. Bryant and Grant signed new acts to the label during their tenure, including Maeta, Ambre<\/a>, Reuben Vincent and Kalan FrFr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRoc Nation was originally founded in 2008 as a joint venture<\/a> with Live Nation to cover Jay-Z\u2019s touring and future recordings; the company signed its first artist, J. Cole<\/a>, the following year. Since then, Roc has expanded into a full-service entertainment company, with management, sports, publishing and distribution divisions, as well as a long-running festival, Made In America; the company also has a deal with the NFL<\/a> to oversee the programming for its Super Bowl Halftime Show and its social justice initiatives. Over the years, the label released several chart-topping albums from Jay-Z, J. Cole, Rihanna<\/a> and a slew of others; the roster had more recently included artists such as Rapsody<\/a>, Vic Mensa<\/a>, Belly<\/a>, Snoh Aalegra<\/a>, and Jaden<\/a> and Willow Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn March, Maeta landed her<\/a> first No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Adult R&B Airplay chart with the success of \u201cThrough the Night\u201d featuring Free Nationals. Grammy-nominated MC Rapsody released her new album, Please Don\u2019t Cry<\/em>, through Roc Nation and Jamla Records in May with features from Erykah Badu<\/a> and Lil Wayne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRoc Nation Management remains formidable, boasting names such as Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> and Lil Uzi Vert<\/a>. In June, Megan released her eponymous album, which debuted<\/a> at No. 3 on the Billboard 200; it featured her Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, \u201cHiss.\u201d Tinashe, also managed by Roc, regained momentum this year when she notched a hit with \u201cNasty,\u201d her first Hot 100 entry as a lead artist since 2014\u2019s \u201c2 On.\u201d The management division also reps DJ Khaled<\/a>, J Balvin<\/a>, Yo Gotti<\/a>, Robin Thicke<\/a>, Mustard<\/a>, Christina Aguilera<\/a> and more, according to its website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
