Jay-Z’s Next Move: Carter Music Group?
Word on the street is that Hovito is in talks with Lyor Cohen to launch his own Carter Music Group.
From NY Daily News:
Now we hear Jay has been huddling with Reid’s rival, Warner Music Group head Lyor Cohen, to talk about starting his own label - tentatively called the Carter Music Group. (Jay’s real name is Aaron Carter.)
……………..“I would be honored and privileged to work with him again,” says Cohen, who signed Jay to Island/Def Jam when Cohen was there. “Bringing Jay-Z to the Warner Music Group would be a privilege and a coup. I’d do it in a heartbeat.”
This shouldn’t come as a shocker to anyone who’s been following Jay’s post-Def Jam Prez developments. Businesswise, it’s probably the only thing that makes sense to him at this point. But what happens to Roc-A-Fella?
Btw, I didn’t realize Jay’s government handle was Aaron Carter, not Shawn Carter. Rush & Molloy never cease to amaze.
