In the late 90’s Rocafella records were in a good position. Jay released in my lifetime vol 1. It sold 138 000 copies in the first week and debuted at number 3 on the billboard 200. Rocafella records started to dominate hip hop. Each project they released put them in a better position within the genre however Eventually, Jay, Biggs and Dame thought an R&b act would expand their reach and signed a duo called Christion to Rocafella Records.

I'm trying to figure out why if you have Neo Soul artists like Christion why you just wouldn't put them on tour with Toni Tony Toné or Maxwell or Joe or kenny Latimore or D'Angelo. They should've known to put them in that lane. I guess bcuz Neo Soul was so new they didn't know that that was the avenue to take. That's why as a R&B artist you really shouldn’t sign with a new "rap" label bcuz they have no real experience in the R&B lane and in their case the Neo Soul lane. I wish they could've signed with Hidden Beach or Kedar Massenburg or even Motown they would've blew up more

I don’t know what they do in their bedrooms but they look good and they sound good. They still can do something especially in today’s world of technology. I hope they don’t give up

I remember talking to the lead singer at Club 112 in Buckhead Atlanta circa 1998-2000. Don’t remember the exact year. These men were extremely other worldly handsome up close. However, they needed a bigger venue. Many people, especially women, wanted them to succeed. They had natural talent and massive sex appeal. Maybe they posed a threat to Jay. Who knows, but if they still have their “appeal,” life is evergreen. They should def get under better management and give it another go...😊💕💯

White Artists drop album's ALL year around & the one's that flop you never hear them calling out the CEO's/Presidents of the Label by name (most people don't even care who it is) but a black artist on a black owned label, the CEO's whole family is blamed. That video basically made it seem like if you sign to Roc-A-Fella Records Jay - Z HAS to be either on your album or standing next to you & if you don't blow up it's his fault!🤷‍♂️🤔

@@redfox3128 Also yes Jay-Z does help his artist how many songs on bleek, and beans did he hop on and of course he's not gonna jump on a song if he thinks it's not hot nobody would that's how most artist work. They can't just jump on any song just because if the song is bad they look bad. Like i said jay was a artist and co owner he can't carry the whole label by himself everybody has to do there part. Dame seemed more comfortable riding Jay's career then anything else

Lady T I see you think you know what you talking about But at the end of the day you’re not talking about nothing And thank you for using Diddy Because you just made my point in your sentence Diddy was a artist and owner And still help his artists more then jay-z Even knowing Diddy robbed his own artists And like I said before you want to keep talking about Dame dash is just a owner I don’t think he was that good at promoting R&B artist Dame dash His good in finding Talent Point blank and simple And I stand on what I said JAY-Z should’ve did more point blank and simple He had all the buzz at the time Jay Z could have help this group more than Dame Dash could ever do And this is why I take 50 Cent over JAY-Z don’t get me wrong I fuck with Jay Z when it comes to his music And do I have to bring up with 50 Cent buzz did for his artists

I hope they come back. This is my first time hearing about this duo, and their music is smooth as heck. We need this sound and the sound of R&B jazz infusion music to be brought back. Music today is crap, a lot of it, and it has no soul, no heart, and lacks substance. Bring back R&B! I’m gonna search for that CD and buy it. Maybe if enough people start buying their music again, they can get a recording contract with another label; these brothers and their music are too smooth! ❤️❤️❤️

They were a great group. I always wondered what happened with that. They had the sound, the look, and the vibe. That smoke song was a hit. Hope they resurface.

I think another thing worth mentioning was that the old Rocafella wasn't as big then as they was before they went under...
