Kareem “Biggs” Burke, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder who helped Jay Z amass a fortune and become a Hip Hop legend was released from federal prison last year after pleading guilty to drug conspiracy charges in March 2012.
His former partner, Manuel Geovanny Rodriguez-Perez, a.k.a. “El Monstro,” didn’t fare so well. In fact, he’s facing life in a New York prison for admitting his involvement in nine murders on top of ten attempted murders, the NYDailyNews reports.
Rodriguez-Perez, 43, also pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy in Manhattan federal court earlier today (June 7). Prosecutors have labeled him as a drug kingpin of the highest caliber, having dominated the NYC marijuana trade from the early 1990s to 2010.
According to The Daily News, Burke was recorded by feds not only talking to Rodriguez-Perez about marijuana suppliers but also dumping money into the trunk of his BMW trunk back in October of 2010.
Founded in 1996 by Jay Z, Burke and Damon “Dame” Dash, Roc-A-Fella was responsible for launching the path to stardom (and classic albums) of Jigga but the careers of Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek and Kanye West.

Does that make Jay-Z a snitch then?
I think most of us probably already had an idea of how Roc-A-Fella was launched and financed early, basically confirmed by Burke’s incarceration, but this adds a violent layer to the story… shit was really real on the, the, the ROC.
I’ll be interested to see how this plays out for Jay-Z, but somehow I doubt he’ll find himself in the firing line…..
Who the fuck cares? If that were true, your punk broke ass would concentrate on making that $7 commission instead of wasting time hitting up the comments. Get a real damn job.
@ kilo ……lmao your getting angry and replying to bot 🙂
He plead guilty to get the death penalty taken off the table. Feds just closed nine murders and got a RICO conviction, theyll make that deal everytime. He’s already going up for sentencing, his deals been cut. Anyone he would’ve snitched on would already be on trial. Plus statute of limitations, unless someone can connect Jay to a body with more than one guy’s heresay feds got nothing.
Memphis Weak didn’t have a career
You Nas stans just don’t get it. HOV was affiliated with people that were really drug dealers and killers. This making his raps much more factual. Who was Nas affiliated with, Mobb Deep? With Prodigy the Ballerina? LMFAO! QB is so pathetic.
Sounds like you’re the pathetic one. Stop living in the past. Your life must suck.
