Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z has teamed-up with mega hit producers Stargate – known for their work with Ne-Yo, Beyonce and Rihanna - to officially launch the label StarRoc. According to international music site 730.co, the Norwegian duo, consisting of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriken, have confirmed the deal with the multi-platinum selling rapper. Known for their consistency in creating smash hit records with their work on projects by Nas, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Usher, R. Kelly and others, Stargate will be based out of Jay’s Roc The Mic studio in Manhattan. In addition to their new venture, Eriksen will be joining his partner at EMI Music Publishing as he has signed a new global deal with the company. According to Music Week, his relationship with EMI will further the publishing company’s involvement on Stargate’s future projects. Prior to the deal, EMI was involved in the developments of Hermansen for nearly ten years. Stargate is globally known for their work on No. 1 Billboard Top 100 hits “So Sick” by Ne-Yo, “Irreplaceable” from Beyonce and Rihanna’s “Take A Bow.”
OutKast’s Andre 3000 has officially revealed plans to release his upcoming solo debut by as early as this year. According to Rolling Stone, the ATLien will be returning to store shelves with his first album without group member Big Boi. Rather than giving an exact date, Andre hinted at when he expects to release the currently untitled project. “It should be dropping by the end of this year or early next year,” he toldRolling Stone. “I’ve pretty much been working by myself.” Despite adding lyricism and popularizing singles from artists like John Legend, Fonzworth Bentley, Rich Boy, DJ Unk and UGK, Andre has decided to cut down his guest appearances for his own album. “I’ve never really been that big on collaboration," he said. "I have a concept, and all the soundscapes are already in my head, so I just have to figure out how to get there. I’ve learned that I’m most powerful when I’m doing my art.” Aside from hip-hop, Andre makes his return to the big screen in tomorrow’s debut film, Battle In Seattle. Co-starring Woody Harrelson, the film has the rapper-turned-actor playing an activist during 1999’s World Trade Organization summit.
