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.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known by her stage name Rihanna, is a Barbadian recording artist, actress and fashion designer. She began her career after meeting record producer Evan Rogers in late 2003 and moved to the United States at age 16 to pursue a recording career.

Rihanna is known for her unique vocal style as a Lyric contralto. Her impressive vocal range spans 3 octaves and 2 notes (B2-D6).

With numerous hit songs and chart-topping albums, Rihanna has become one of the most successful artists in the music industry. In addition to her musical achievements, she has also ventured into acting and fashion design. Her versatile talent and undeniable charisma have made her an influential figure in popular culture.

Double 180 Gram Vinyl with Download. With A Girl Like Me, the Barbadian teen-queen Rihanna is looking to transfer all claims of royalty to the summertime pop charts. If anybody's going to rule them, she pretty much proclaims by way of SOS, a song no less irresistible, intoxicating, and all-out cool than 2005's Pon de Replay, off her debut, she's it. That's not to say this new disc is anything like its predecessor overall. Where Music of the Sun was mostly what its title suggests - a romp through an anglo-friendly island with no sunscreen required - A Girl Like Me is more reflective and a little rueful; you get the sense it was crafted in part to show her range, with executive producer Jay-Z guiding her through it gracefully. Unfaithful is a noir-ish testing of the R&amp;B waters, and it goes so well that Rihanna wastes no time skinny-dipping her way into the deep end - Final Goodbye, P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You), and A Million Miles Away all betray juicy bits of Beyonce. Back in barefoot bikini-girl land, though - a territory that covers roughly half this disc - the party's still going strong. Rihanna gives dancehall legend Sean Paul a run for his money with the bouncing Break It Off, and We Ride makes you want to roll down the windows and stick your head out the passenger side. Crank it up and keep the sunglasses handy.
