Def Jam ⁽⁴⁹⁾

Def Jam changed everything. Founded in New York in 1984 by Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, the label took hip-hop from the underground to the mainstream without compromising what made it vital -- LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, Slick Rick. Later came Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nas. The Def Jam catalogue is one of the most important in American music. At Car Boot Soul Records our Def Jam collection spans the golden era and beyond.
