Although Jay-Z has been busy building his multimedia empire to promote his upcoming book and greatest hits collection, he decided to take some time out and sign underground emcee Jay Electronica to Roc Nation.

According to published reports, Jay-Z announced the partnership Friday (November 13) at an event at The Box in New York. Not one to withhold information from fans, Jay Electronica did drop a hint via Twitter earlier in the day.

“We not illuminati, but our mind's on the money.”

Alongside the Hip-Hop lyricists will be DJ Big Don who'll serve as MC for the event as well as other guests who'll brief the audience on the current state of Haiti today.

All proceeds will be donated to the Haiti Action Committee and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund.
