Dame Dash is a profile subject in the upcoming February issue of Details Magazine. The feature is part primer on the development of Jay Z and the Roc-A-Fella and Rocawear brands and part glimpse into Dash 2.0, a man interested in working in a hyper-creative environment with like-minded, anti-corporate artists and product-developers.

While the article largely focuses on Dash's work with Jim Jones and his Vampire Life brand, as well as Dash's Lower East Side art gallery Poppington, Dusko brand whiskey and other ventures, Jay still looms over his head. The article's author Kevin Gray writes, "If Dash has regrets—about giving up the power and the money and the influence he once possessed at Roc-A-Fella—he won't show it. As for Jay Z's vast empire—estimated to be worth $475 million—and cultural currency, Dash makes no claims to them." But, perhaps, it's because Dash sees his own value reflected in Jay.

Over the summer, Dame and Jay reconnected at a friend's birthday party in Williamsburg. Later in the year, Dame and his daughter Ava attended the Magna Carta Holy Grail Tour in L.A. and hung out with Jay backstage. However, late in the article, Dame eschewed Jay's lifestyle and criticized the executives that he rolls with.
