Roc-A-Fella Records released Beanie Sigel\'s debut album, The Truth on February 29, 2000, to critical and commercial success.\n', '

In 2002, Sigel and much of the Roc-A-Fella roster starred in State Property. Its release coincided with the creation and promotion of State Property, a group of Philadelphia artists signed to Roc-A-Fella, who were organized by Sigel and Freeway. Its members included Peedi Crakk, the Young Gunz (Neef Buck & Young Chris), Oschino and Omillio Sparks. Their first collaboration was for the movie\'s soundtrack, an eponymous release that featured the original "Roc the Mic" by Sigel and Freeway. 2003\'s The Chain Gang Vol. 2 followed, featuring the single "Can\'t Stop, Won\'t Stop" by the Young Gunz. The record was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.\n', '

In 2005, before serving a one-year prison sentence stemming from an earlier arrest, Sigel shot multiple videos, directed by Joe Briscella, and finished his third album The B. Coming. During this time, Sigel\'s label head at Roc-A-Fella, Jay-Z, became president of its parent label, Def Jam, which caused former business partners Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke to leave and form the Dame Dash Music Group. Dame Dash Music Group and Def Jam released Sigel\'s The B. Coming rather than Roc-A-Fella, but it still contained production from a slew of Roc/Jay Z-affiliated producers including Chad West, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Boola, and Buckwild. Sigel recruited cross–label MC talent for his album as well, including Cam\'ron and Jay-Z. Sigel\'s record produced a hit track, "Feel it in the Air", and sold 131,000 copies in its first week.\n', '
