In 2008 Tinchy Stryder, Archie Lamb IV and Jack Foster the two-man management team behind Tinchy Stryder’s success, signed a joint venture publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing to create Takeover/Cloud 9, which will enable Takeover Entertainment to publish the work of Takeover Entertainment's musicians and record producers in partnership with EMI.[1]
In 2009, Takeover/Cloud 9 became the publishing arm for all musicians and record producers of Takeover Entertainment. The singles from Tinchy Stryder's certified Gold second studio album, Catch 22: "Take Me Back", and #1's "Never Leave You", and the N-Dubz collaboration "Number 1", were all published by Takeover/Cloud 9.[1]
In June 2010, Takeover Entertainment went into business with Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter by signing a Joint venture with Jay-Z's Roc Nation to create a European record label and entertainment company.[2] The new company was named Takeover Roc Nation. By this, Takeover/Cloud 9 also became the music publishing arm for Takeover Roc Nation.[2]
