JAY Z is looking to add to his billion-dollar empire and he has his sights on cannabis to help.

Per Rolling Stone

JAY Z is set to join the California-based cannabis company Caliva as Chief Brand Strategist as part of a new multi-year partnership.

The rapper will help the company with creative decisions, outreach efforts and strategy, though a big component of his role will focus on the social justice issues surrounding legalization. Specifically, Jay will work to improve the representation and participation of previously incarcerated people who are still being kept out of the legal weed business in large numbers. Per a statement, Jay-Z’s efforts in this realm will include “advocacy, job training and overall employee and workforce development.”

Jay-Z reached out to Caliva after an extensive search to find a suitable partner in the cannabis industry. “For Jay-Z to seek out Caliva as a partner is humbling and confirms our mission of being the most trusted name in cannabis,” says Caliva CEO, Dennis O’Malley. “To find that we were in complete alignment around our values and ethos was just a home run. We believe this partnership is unparalleled in this or any business and we could not be more pleased to be working with him and have him as our Chief Brand Strategist.”

Jay-Z’s decision to focus on the social justice side of legal weed complements the work he’s done in criminal justice reform

Couple that with his stakes in Ace of Spades and the former corner boy will have mastered the hustle again!
