JAY-Z is reportedly looking to add another significant piece to his business portfolio.

TMZ reports that the 47-year old Roc Nation CEO, along with a famous producer and billionaire are in talks to buy Harvey Weinstein's 23% stake in The Weinstein Company. 

Jay already has an ongoing working relationship with TWC and wants to expand it.

Harvey was a producer on the documentary, "The Kalief Browder Story." TWC is also working with Jay on a six-part docu-series on Trayvon Martin, as part of a first-look deal he signed with the studio last September.

The opportunity for Jay to make the acquisition came about after Harvey was fired by TWC's board of representatives earlier this month, amid allegations of sexual harassment against him.

"More than a few people have told me that the first time they heard 'Too Ashamed' it moved them to tears because it reminded them of their struggles with sobriety. They also said the song motivates them to keep fighting the good fight. Those testaments are the reason I continue to make music. Some things are more important to me than awards and accolades." - Kxng Crooked

"This song is all about overcoming personal adversity. Kxng Crooked is conquering his battle with alcoholism and making peace with those he's hurt. Iliana Eve is coping with the trauma of being a victim in a violent home invasion and moving forward. This is the most transparent song I've ever been involved with." - Jonathan Hay, Producer

"Too Ashamed" by Kxng Crooked featuring Iliana Eve and Mike Smith is produced by Jonathan Hay and King Graint. The song appears on 15 (The Sins of a Father Playlist) released through the Smith and Hay record label.
