Posted February 20, 2013 by Brittany Lewis for Global Grind Staff

When Jay-Z's not sending million dollar deals through his hands-free, he's inking new record deals for himself and his Roc Nation record label. 

DETAILS: Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake To Headline Wireless Festival In London

As of yesterday, Jay-Z's musical catalog will now live at Warner/Chappell offices. Jay-Z worked out a new publishing deal with Jon Platt of Warner/Chappell Music.

So what does this mean for Jay-Z?

Warner/Chappell music will have publishers rights to Jay-Z's past, present, and future recordings. 

Jay-Z spoke about his new deal, stating: 

"The real meaning of success is being in the position to work with an individual you consider a friend. Jon Platt is such a person. He’s a man of extraordinary character as well as a remarkably talented executive with an ear for music and an eye for talent. It’s great to watch him grow to be one the best in the business."

Jon Platt followed up Jay-Z's sentiments by stating: 

"I first partnered with Jay in 1996, and it’s been thrilling to work with my friend over the past 16 years as he’s grown into one of the world’s best songwriters and become a global icon. At the same time, Roc Nation is one of the most dynamic and influential music companies around. It is home to an extraordinary collection of hit-makers, who are writing and producing many of today’s most popular songs and collaborating with the world’s most successful artists. I couldn’t be happier to continue my relationships with Jay and Roc Nation and build on our partnerships at Warner/Chappell."

Jay-Z is currently gearing up to headline the Wireless Festival in London with Justin Timberlake.
