Lenny S on Decades of Working With Jay-Z, Being an A&R and the Famous Gold Couch
Check out the XXL store → shop.xxlmag.co...
Lenny S, senior vice president at Roc Nation, is a self-described "accessible guy" with an elite level of access within the music industry. On this episode of XXL's Inside Track podcast, Lenny S discusses his unwavering success as an A&R, his upcoming book based on photos taken on his now-famous gold couch in his Roc Nation office and being a part of major moments that made rap game history.
After cutting his teeth in hip-hop as an independent street promoter in his home borough of the Bronx, a one-year stint with Bad Boy Records led Lenny to an intern position at then-upstart label Roc-A-Fella Records in 1996. He quickly became a key player at the Roc and has been firmly positioned at the right hand of Jay-Z ever since.

Putting in the work… he worked tirelessly IN-HOPES of it working out! Being loyalty to a company that hadn’t realized success yet but still doing the necessary work… that’s why people like Lenny is blessed! These guys are really an inspiration!

Interview should've been longer than 40 something minutes. When the interview was just warming up it ended. I didn't learn much here.

I remember dude contacting me back in the day and the things he was telling me sounded like he was trying to finesse me

The interviewer has to be quiet during Lenny’s responses. He’s “mmhmming” all over the interview. Hush.
