		Roc stars Beanie Sigel and Cam'ron went with Dash and Burke -- and Sigel is also serving a prison sentence for a gun conviction.
		Just Blaze and another Roc veteran, Swizz Beatz, give about half of the disc an upbeat sheen; underground hotshot 9th Wonder adds a bit of soulful mystery; and the unsung Chad Hamilton brings some heat with an old-fashioned breakbeat on "Get Low."

	Tribeca Film Festival - Death of a Dynasty
		Roc-A-Fella Records began in 1995, when the Harlem-reared Dash and the now multi-platinum rapper, Jay-Z, decided to start their own label after fruitlessly searching for a record deal for Jay-Z.

		This attracted the notice of Priority Records, which joined with the young entrepreneurs to release the now classic debut from Jay-Z, Reasonable Doubt.
