JAY-Z Makes Power Move to Reclaim ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Masters Ahead of Roc-A-Fella Auction

Jay-Z is taking decisive action to secure the master recordings of his debut album, “Reasonable Doubt,” just as Dame Dash’s share of Roc-A-Fella Records heads to auction.

With a starting bid of $1.2 million, potential buyers should be aware of a critical detail: Jay-Z’s legal team has filed paperwork confirming that the rights to the album will revert to him in 2031.

While Roc-A-Fella currently holds the copyright, this move ensures Jay-Z will regain full control in just six years.

The auction, set for August 29, may see a drop in bids as the financial window for owning a piece of “Reasonable Doubt” narrows. Jay-Z’s message is clear: the clock is ticking on this opportunity.
