Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation has launched a new book publishing imprint, Roc Lit 101.
As The Associated Press reports, the company has partnered with Random House for the venture which will present “books at the dynamic intersection of entertainment and genre-defying literature”.
It’s said that Roc Lit 101 is preparing to release a new book about criminal injustice by Meek Mill and a fantasy fiction title penned by Lil Uzi Vert, as well as memoirs from Fat Joe and Yo Gotti.
The first slate of titles has already been announced: Shine Bright by music journalist Danyel Smith and the memoir of former New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, titled Till the End, will be released in the summer of 2021.
Roc Lit 101 will be led by Chris Jackson alongside Roc Nation’s Vice President Jana Fleishman. Jackson previously worked with Jay-Z when Random House published the rapper’s 2010 autobiography, Decoded.
