THE "ROCAFELLA CHAIN" STORY.... JAZ-O DETAILS WHAT WENT DOWN

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep. #204, legendary Brooklyn rapper Jaz-O sits down with Math Hoffa to tell the real story behind the "Roc-A-Fella chain" — the symbol of one of hip-hop’s most iconic labels.

Jaz-O reveals how he almost didn’t receive his Roc-A-Fella chain, despite being one of Jay-Z’s earliest mentors and collaborators. After multiple calls to Lenny S, Jaz-O learned that Jay-Z personally removed several chains from the Roc Nation safe, believing people were “misusing their privileges.”

Eventually, Jay-Z himself emailed Jaz-O, asked for his address, and personally sent him the chain — the only way Jaz says he would’ve gotten it.

The conversation goes deep: Jaz-O reflects on his early influence in Jay-Z’s career, the Reasonable Doubt era, and how he watched Jay evolve into a business mogul alongside Dame Dash, Biggs, and Irv Gotti.

He also drops gems about Irv Gotti’s grind at Def Jam — literally sitting outside an office with a school desk, hustling his way into history.
