Early in the days of Roc-A-Fella, Damon "Dame" Dash was considered the brains of the operation. Jay-Z, on the other hand, was considered as the face. There was a time when Dame Dash was hailed as the second coming of Russell Simmons.

In the middle of their dominance, all of this ended. Jay-Z was named the CEO of Def Jam and Damon Dash was without the label he helped create. Ever since the 2004 Roc-A-Fella breakup, Dame Dash has been a running joke.

There have been rumors about his financial stability for the past few years. Last year, Dash returned to the public and announced some of his new ventures. The former mogul has created a new label, BluRoc, and has artists signed.

Outside of music, Damon Dash is currently working on his new movie, Muscle Car Chronicles, which stars his artist, Curren$y. Dash also has his new company, Creative Control, which does just that for independent artists and music companies. Damon Dash said he sees so many independent artists not even getting airplay that are living like rockstars and he wants to give them publicity.
