SHAWN "JAY-Z" CARTER and multiple GRAMMY-nominated production duo STARGATE have officially announced the formation of STARROC. ROC NATION has struck a global partnership deal with STARGATE encompassing both a music label and publishing company, STARROC MUSIC PUBLISHING. It is the first partnership for ROC NATION, JAY-Z's official venture with LIVE NATION.

This has been a rewarding partnership and it was time to take the creative venture to the next level," commented JAY-Z.
