A rap mogul who helped launch Jay-Z‘s career was busted Friday with 43 other people when the feds rolled up a drug ring that controlled much of the pot market in the city.

According to the New York Post, Roc A Fella co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke was arrested this morning along with 43 other people in a massive drug investigation spanning up and down the East Coast.

Also notably nabbed in the dragnet was Matthew Stang, a writer and senior ad rep at High Times magazine.

According to the paper, the 44 arrests, which followed an 18-month investigation into the lengthy drug network headed by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez – resulted in $1 million in seized profits and 177 pounds of marijuana.
