Dame Dash, one of the biggest CEOs on HipHop , recently sat down with Lore’l from The Morning Hustle for a highly entertaining conversation about his latest projects, ongoing industry beefs, and his relentless push to empower independent creators. The Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, known for shaping the careers of legends like JAY-Z and Kanye West, has long been a vocal advocate for ownership in music, film, and fashion. Now, he’s expanding his vision with new ventures, including his latest film The Prince of Detroit and his streaming platform, AmericanNu.

One of the biggest topics of discussion was Dame’s latest directorial effort, The Prince of Detroit, which premieres on BET on January 23. The film, inspired by a true story, explores the rise and fall of a Black business empire in Detroit. After losing everything, the young heir of the family is determined to rebuild their legacy—a narrative that closely aligns with Dame’s own philosophy on ownership and perseverance.

The movie has already received praise for its powerful storytelling and direction, proving once again that Dame Dash has an eye for unique and inspiring stories. As he continues to push into the film industry, he’s making it clear that he’s not just a mogul in music—he’s a storyteller at heart.

Of course, no Dame Dash interview would be complete without addressing the drama in hip-hop. When asked about the ongoing tension between Jim Jones and Mase, Dame didn’t shy away from sharing his perspective, given his history with both artists. He also spoke on the highly publicized Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, offering insight into the ever-changing landscape of rap beefs and lyrical competition.

Beyond music and film, Dame Dash remains committed to ownership and entrepreneurship. He spoke about where he currently stands as a CEO, his clothing line, and other upcoming business moves. One of his biggest projects right now is AmericanNu, a new streaming platform he’s been tirelessly promoting. The app is designed to give independent creators a space to distribute their content without major corporate interference—a direct extension of Dame’s lifelong mission to build platforms for creatives outside the traditional system.

Dame has always been vocal about controlling his own destiny, and with AmericanNu, he’s hoping to give others that same opportunity. Whether in music, film, or tech, he’s proving that independence is not just a philosophy but a way of life.

Dame Dash’s conversation with The Morning Hustle was packed with gems on business, hip-hop, and staying true to your vision.
