Jay-Z's Roc Nation imprint continues its expansion overseas, with the acquisition of Block Starz Music LLC, a German-American digital label.
According to a press release, Roc Nation bought the German-based independent label, which was founded in 2008 to scout, develop and market new talent.
While terms of the deal were not disclosed, Roc Nation allegedly outbid a variety of labels, including Universal and Jive Records.
