• The-Dream *Def Jam* - High Art ft. Jay-Z

Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex , has decided he is building an 11,000 square foot space in LA's Chinatown to be a studio facility for the "computer musician" as a way to realize his aspirations to give back to the craft that has gotten him to where he is now. Recently, the Ibiza International Music Summit presented their first IMS Engage Summit in Hollywood, CA at the W Hotel, in which they paired 12 producers, managers, label-heads, and executives including Skrillex, Pete Tong , Diplo , Def Jam founder  Russell Simmons , [...]

Even though a Def Jam deal and appearance on XXL 's Freshman list might have introduced Logic to most, hard work and a sense of self-realization have brought this Connecticut MC to the latest peak in his budding career, the release of highly-anticipated Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever mixtape. On first listen, anyone with ears will clearly see this unassuming lyrical assassin is well-rounded in sound and aiming for the crown, rather than just pushing trendy vibes or spitting bars for the sake spitting them - like many current MCs. Via [...]

El último álbum solista de Kanye salió en el 2010. Hace unos días nos enteramos que Kanye West estaba planeando lanzar su nuevo álbum de estudio en los próximos meses y que serían tan oscuro como su predecesores. Todo parece indicar que el disco ya tiene fecha de lanzamiento. Hoy en la mañana West regresó a Twitter sólo para escribir un mensaje que decía " June Eighteen ".

Kanye West se convertirá en papá este 2013. Según el DJ de la estación especializada en hip hop Hot97 , Paul Rosenberg , el sello Def Jam ya escuchó el nuevo disco de Kanye West y su sonido es oscuro y raposo. En teoría, el nuevo álbum de Kanye será más denso que su multipremiado My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy  de 2010, sin embargo aún no hay ningún adelanto ni muestra de esta nueva producción. El próximo mes de mayo, West se presentará en [...]

This is big news people!  Iggy Azalea has announced her newly inked deal with Island Def Jam Records. The Australian rapper took to the bible of all bibles, Twitter to announce the move. Iggy was originally signing a deal with Interscope Records, however this deal fell through back in 2012, so she continued to work through rapper T.I.'s label Hustle Gang, with which she released her EP "Glory", which included the track "Murda Bizness". The contract with Hustle Gang was not renewed and Iggy slowly parted from working with T.I's label and her debut LP "The [...]

It's been a wild ride for the rising Maryland XXL freshman as he just inked his first major label deal with Def Jam Recording. He has also brought along his Visionary Music Group crew as well, leaving him in full creative control of his forthcoming studio album. No I.D. will be the producer in charge of the project, so you can expect big things from the kid.

In the past 2 years he has released two highly succecsful This Song Is Sick sponsered mixtapes  Young Sinatra: Undeniable   and  Young Sinatra   as well as sold out all across the US and Europe, [...]

"Lost" seemed to be one of the most radio-ready and accessible tracks off of Frank Ocean's immediate classic channel Orange from last year. But instead it serves as a reminiscent track to a split screen video highlighting Ocean's journeys over the past year, released today, still making it seem like it's the optimal timing for the video to surface.

Shlohmo and Jeremih teamed up to bring you a super sexy track courtsey of Yours Truly . The pair first crossed paths sonically last year when Shlohmo remixed Jeremih's Fuck U All The Time track from his Late Night mixtape. Jeremih may be most know for his Bithday Sex single back in 09 but has been exploring different sounds as of late which brought about theLate Nigh t mixtape. Shlohmo still feeling the creative juices flowing after releasing his Laid Out E.P . was just the right person for Jeremih [...]

Whether you know it or not, chances are you have heard some portion of the song "Bumpin' Bus Stop" by Thunder & Lightning. How? Well, because it's been sampled by the likes of Kanye West, DJ Premier, People Under The Stairs, Timbaland, Madlib, Lord Finesse... do I need to continue? Anyway, the legal owners of the song are looking to collect royalties over the sampling of the track and believe that they are owed millions, which makes sense given all the artists who have flipped "Bumpin' Bus Stop". The lawsuit names Stones Throw, Def Jam, Roc-A-Fella, Bad Boy, [...]

Def Jam's former president Joie Manda has left the label, where he was the president for just a little over a year to head to Interscope Records as President of Urban Music.

Few records aided in moulding a generation-defining aural identity as did  Rival Schools'   United By Fate of 2001. Alongside Thursday's  Full Collapse and The Get Up Kids'  Something to Write Home About , it was more or less one third of the very genesis of emo and whatever your take on the now widely reviled genre, that ain't to be sniffed at down many nostrils in the same way that  United By Fate was, to my ears, one of the defining albums of my formative years. It was therefore pretty dispiriting that [...]

Hey, u remember esteemed labels like Flawless Records? Machine Shop Records? Elementree Records? Of course u don't!

We have slowly become more and more impatient with Jai Paul and his frequency of musical output or lack there of. To date, he only has two incredible songs to his name, "BTSTU" and this past year's "Jasmine" . We are hoping this year is the year that we get a proper album from the artist, however, in the meantime, we are going to have to be satisfied with his contribution to Big Boi's latest LP, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours , titled "High Res". The track, also featuring [...]

"You now what happens when G.O.O.D Music x MMG get together right?" Announces Pusha at the beginning of the song. Well to me I can't think of much more  other than luxurious trap rap, which dominated the airwaves of 2012. Don't know if this one is much different... I'm looking forward to the demise of this sound in 2013, but at this point I dunno when or if that well occur. Hit the jump for the stream.
