Roc Nation (founded by Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter) recently announced a new collaboration series with sportswear giant PUMA. The Roc Nation x PUMA collaboration serves as a follow-up to their previous iteration of the Mixtape Series.
This alliance comes together for the release of a collaborative sneaker collection honoring the mixtape culture alongside a list of content that includes:
- A brand new mixtape release bringing together the hottest artists
- A docuseries release spotlighting the intersection of mixtape culture and Hip-Hop’s icons
- An exclusive roundtable discussion featuring rap’s power players on and off the stage
On June 27, Roc Nation premiered the Mixtape Roundtable piece; a 32 minute long video that examines the legacy, influence, and future of the mixtape and also features former Roc-A-Fella Records A&R, Wayne ‘Wayno’ Clark, platinum recording artist and producer DJ Clue, media personality Nyla Symone, Harlem rapper Jim Jones, southern Hip-Hop pioneer DJ OG Ron C, mixtape mogul DJ Holiday, and creative visionary serving as Roc Nation’s senior Vice President Lenny ‘Lenny S’ Santiago.
