As if the Beyonce, Mya and Jay Z cheating scandal wasn't enough, rapper Jay Z has been slammed with more drama.

MStars News has learned that a sound engineer out of Jay Z's camp claims that he was the main producer/creator of Roc-A-Fella's entire collection of work between the years 1999 to 2000, and is demanding a declaration from a judge that stats that he's as much the owner of the 6 albums as Roc-A-Fella's label itself.

According to TMZ, Chauncey Mahan has created a new lawsuit revealing that he was the sound engineer who was one of the first producers to gain knowledge and craft his skills of learning Pro Tools production software, that was essential in creating the sound for a number of Roc-A-Fella's biggest hits, including The Life and Times of S. Carter and The Dynasty album.

TMZ reported a recent story that Jay Z and Roc Nation filed an extortion police report earlier this year, claiming that Mahan was keeping boxes of master recordings to himself, ordering Jay Z and the label to give him $100,000 for the music.

Jay Z set up a sting operation where members of his camp met up with Mahan at a storage facility in the San Fernando Valley, resulting in the LAPD to seize the boxes full of recordings in which the police still have til this day.

The producer suing Jigga is now requesting a judge to order that he was essential to the creation of the music making him co-owner of the copyright.  If a judge goes in Mahan's favor, then the producer will get the master recordings back.

What makes things more interesting is that Jay Z and Roc Nation dropped their extortion complaint against Mahan.
