25 Years of Def Jam Recordings via Nowness.
“When the punk rock-loving teenage law student Rick Rubin met party promoter Russell Simmons in 1984, few could have predicted that the unlikely duo would change the face of hip-hop forever. Rizzoli’s forthcoming tome, Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label, documents how the pair’s humble ‘experimental art project’ went on to become the most influential label in rap history, and the genre’s first multi-million dollar empire.”
Rick Rubin has to be the most awesome former law student out there. Inspirational. Tomorrow I’m going to quit my job, become a producer and make a beat for Rick Ross.
