Out of stock

The Saga of the mythical rap label. Much more than just a rap label. Instead of playing the game of show business and the music industry, Def Jam reinvented the rules. Founded in a student bedroom by Rick Rubin, a fan of hard rock rap, and by Russel Simmons, promoter and pioneer of Hip Hop culture, Def Jam broke all records, writing in 25 years a history littered with stars, records gold, scandals, legendary classics and avant-garde music. The book traces this story from LL Cool J to Jay-Z, from Public Enemy to Kanye West.
