Roc Nation Sports Official

Roc Nation, the newly-founded sports agency by rapper Jay-Z, is ready to take on NBA and NFL clients.  Jay-Z, who was a partial owner of the Nets and one of the main motivating factors for their move to Brooklyn, has now been cleared to move forward in signing players from the NBA, MLB, and NFL.
The convergence of the sports and music industry that Roc Nation illustrates the same thing as what is going on with companies such as Google and Facebook.  Each industry is slowly turning into one large industry in which the main competitors are all technological giants.  
Roc Nation is just the first of what will probably be many music/sports agencies.  Soon enough artists will align themselves with other sports superstars and new teams will form.
