Roc Nation is using this time to venture out using Cano as his first sportsclient. Jay-Z is confident with Roc Nation Sports. He stated that it would be
essential in helping him accomplish his long and short-term goals. In a

can keep my focus on helping the Yankees succeed in 2013, while minimizing any
distraction for me and my teammates”.

management company under Jay-Z and partnering with Creative Artist agency (CAA).
Jay is taking the opportunity to enjoy both of his brands Music and Sports. He
states he doesn’t want to make the same mistake that No Limit Sports made under
Master P and Ricky Williams. He states adding CAA to the fold gives Roc Nation
an instant credibility that No Limit Sports never had.
