Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports isn’t even six months old and it already may be in trouble with a pro sports league. The NFL is investigating whether the rapper/mogul didn’t follow proper protocol when it came to signing New York Jets rookie QB Geno Smith to his sports representation company.
Much to the dismay of fans, Casey Veggies took to Twitter to reveal that his “PNCXX” Tour with Travi$ Scott would be postponed. Thankfully, the young MC softened the blow by liberating a new track called “Money Don’t Buy Time.”
Fresh off the announcement that he signed to Roc Nation earlier this week, DJ Mustard is dropping details on the new deal. The Southern California producer spoke with Vibe.com about joining Jay-Z’s roster, and teaming with Rihanna.
“The sample was yelling loop me,” said J. Cole referring to his inspiration for a new song affectionately titled “Cole Summer.” Thank the most high for that, because that feeling birthed a song with a warmth that rivals the season that serves as its namesake.

Cole‘s “Power Trip.” The latter surprised the Interents with a vlog, in which he shows fans how he created the hypnotic beat piece by piece.
Jay-Z’s Roc Nations Sports agency has been one of the business mogul’s boldest moves to date.

J. Cole drops the video for “Power Trip,” featuring Miguel, the lead single from his forthcoming Born Sinner album.
