The chart-topping artist told Billboard that “dealing with Jay Z, who is an artist himself, that’s great. I’ve always idolized Jay. We both come from the ‘hood, and he gets it … But I’m really excited about giving back. This is my way of giving back.”
Roc Nation Latin will develop and cultivate Latin artists in the U.S. and on a global level.
