[themovie]

Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam recording artist Jay-Z and partner Damon Dash have purchased Armadale Vodka, spokespersons for the music moguls and the wine and spirits company confirmed.

Dash discussed their decision to venture into the liquor business in a statement. "Roc-A-Fella has always respected quality vodkas, such as Belvedere and Grey Goose," he said. "Just like we do with our businesses, we wanted to present a vodka that represented the best. And we feel Armadale is of elite quality."

Coincidentally, during the late '90s, Def Jam was owned by liquor giant Seagram.

In related news, Jay-Z is scheduled to kick off the Sprite Liquid Mix tour on August 20 at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in Wantagh, New York. The 15-date run will also feature sets from Jay's Roc-A-Fella roster (Cam'ron, Beanie Sigel, Freeway), Hoobastank, 311, N.E.R.D., Talib Kweli, and others.
