Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label
The illustrated oral history of the first 25 years of Def Jam Recordings. Told through interviews with its founders and the iconic artists it represents, including LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Rihanna, and Kanye West, it traces the rise of one of the last great record labels in a rapidly changing music landscape.
Def Jam’s impact on culture extends far beyond its roster, shaping the sound, style, fashion, and visual identity of young America throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Punctuated by behind-the-scenes photographs, album cover art, and press materials, with images by notable photographers such as Albert Watson, Glen E. Friedman, and more, it offers a retrospective celebration of the label that helped define hip-hop music and culture. Out of print.
