     A big-time rap mogul is in trouble with federal officers. Kareem "Biggs" Burke, best known for being the co-founder of Roc-A- Fella records (along with Jigga man and Damon Dash of course), which of course helped boost and start the career of Jay-Z, was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida, authorities said.

Burke was nabbed early this morning by ICE agents at his home in North Bergen, NJ, Hayes said.

The 18-month investigation into the vast narcotics network – headed by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez – resulted in $1 million in seized profits and 177 pounds of marijuana, Hayes said.

At least another seven people are expected to be arrested as a result of the operation, dubbed “Green Venom,” he said. Investigators used state and federal wiretaps to catch the drug smugglers, authorities said.
