Damon Dash Bio – 2018 Update
Hailing from New York City, Damon Dash first had a vision for a record label in the early 90’s. Convinced hip-hop was the way to go, he eventually found himself working as the manager for Jay Z, who was a young budding artist at the time. Ultimately, Rock-A-Fella Records had started as an independent outlet for his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, which came out in 1995. With Dash as his manager, the rapper went on to release nine No. 1 records by the mid-2000’s. As time went on, however, rumors of a rift between the two began to circulate. In 2004, Rock-A-Fella Records was bought out by Def Jam Records.
What has the entrepreneur been up to in the recent years? Obviously, he’s been busy working with his label’s signees, but what else? While he hasn’t appeared much on television these past few months, he was featured in a handful of shows in 2016 such as Growing Up Hip Hop, The Real, Access Hollywood Live, and Music Moguls. He even helped to direct a short film titled, Marietta: Rise of a Female Boss! According to his IMDb page, he has a few things planned for next year- one of which includes an upcoming documentary called, Wasted Talent (2018). In addition to that, he will also be making a return to acting in the films Honor Up (2018) and Steele Justice (2018).
