Takeover Roc Nation is a global independent record label and entertainment company, which acts as a co-owned subsidiary of Takeover Entertainment Limited and Roc Nation LLC. It was founded in June 2010 by American hip hop artist, record producer and entrepreneur Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and musician and businessman Kwasi Danquah III of the company, Takeover Entertainment Limited.[1]

In June 2010, Carter and Roc Nation signed a joint venture deal with Danquah’s company, Takeover Entertainment Limited, to create a European record label and entertainment company. The new label was named Takeover Roc Nation. It handles management, merchandise, records and live bookings for its recording artists. The company publishes music through Takeover/Cloud 9 and distributes record releases through Sony Music Entertainment and partners with Live Nation, StarRoc/Stargate[2] and Three Six Zero Group[3] for all other aspects of the business.[1][4][5][6]
