In Hip Hop, Artists Are Welcomed To The Label By Getting The Label’s Chain. Since Jay Z Was A Label

In hip hop, artists are welcomed to the label by getting the label’s chain. Since Jay Z was a label president at Island when Infinity On High was released, he chained Fall Out Boy with a Roc-A-Fella chain—but because of their size, they got the women’s style. According to Pete:

At one point Jay-Z gave us Roc-A-Fella chains and there was a chaining ceremony and he was like, “I gave you guys the girl sizes because the guy sizes would look crazy on you.” And we were like, “Okay, cool. Thanks!” We didn’t know what to do.
