In anticipation of the launch of our art book “Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label” we’d like to share a series of webisodes cut from our interviews. The first is a clip of Russell Simmons recalling his first encounter with Rick Rubin.
The book tells the storied history of the legendary label responsible for acts like The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Redman, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, Public Enemy and dozens of artists who propelled American youth culture onto the global stage.
