Def Jam is a New York hip-hop label that was founded in 1983 by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin. Over the years, it has become one of the most well-known hip-hop labels in the world, launching the careers of iconic artists such as Public Enemy, L.L. Cool J, The Beastie Boys, Redman, and DMX. Since 2022, Tunji Balogun has been serving as Chairman and CEO of Def Jam.

The label's history dates back to its independent beginnings in 1984 when it released several 12" singles. In 1985, Def Jam Recordings started distributing through Columbia/CBS Records. Subsequently, CBS Records was acquired by Sony Corporation in 1988 and later became Sony Music Entertainment in 1991.

In a series of ownership changes and mergers over the years, PolyGram purchased a majority stake in Def Jam holdings from Sony. Eventually, Universal Music Group acquired all remaining Def Jam assets from Sony after merging with PolyGram families of labels. This led to the formation of Island Def Jam Music Group which merged with Mercury's pop roster and Island Records.

William Leonard Roberts II, known professionally as Rick Ross, is an American rapper and entrepreneur. He founded the record label Maybach Music Group in 2009 and has released several successful studio albums under this label. Ross was also the first artist signed to Diddy's management company Ciroc Entertainment. With his unique style and lyrical prowess, he has been recognized as one of the hottest MCs in the game by MTV.

Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi and raised in Carol City, Florida, Ross attended Albany State University on a football scholarship after graduating from Miami Carol City Senior High School. Before pursuing his music career full-time, he worked as a correctional officer for 18 months. Under the stage name Teflon Da Don, he made his debut at Suave House Records before changing his name to Rick Ross.

Throughout his career, Ross has collaborated with various artists and toured with fellow rapper Trick Daddy. His music is often compared to that of DJ Drama, Ace Hood, Jeezy, and other talented performers in the industry. Despite sharing a stage name with former drug kingpin "Freeway" Rick Ross, there is no connection between them.
