With the upcoming premier of Ultimate Hustler, it seems appropriate to see what else Damon Dash has been up to lately.

In December, the How Can I Be Down? conference makes its way to Toronto in conjunction with the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. The Damon Dash Music Group is involved with the conference and Dash is expected to be a panelist.

Bun B has a sneaker deal with Damon Dash’s Pro-Keds for a limited edition line of sneaks.

Damon Dash has cashed out of Rocawear and “is severing business ties with former partners including Jay-Z”:
“They gave me $30 million and 75% of Team Roc. I’m real happy with the deal. I got $22.5 million in cash and the rest in companies (like State Property, Team Roc, Pro-Keds and other entities).”

Though Beanie Sigel recently thanked Damon Dash for his support and described him as “just like my brother”, Sigel is leaving the Damon Dash Music Group in order to be independent of drama between Jay-Z and Damon Dash:
“I got my own [State Property imprint] with Universal . . . I didn’t want to be in the situation where I had to pick between my homies. They both good homies of mine. . . I just said the best thing for me to do as a man and true friend was to back up from both situations. I would have my friends on the same level. I don’t gotta worry about one feeling no type of way because I’m riding with this one. That’s a real uncomfortable feeling.”
