Hip Hop

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.

Clifford Smith, professionally known as Method Man, is an American rapper and actor. He gained fame as a member of the East Coast hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan and as one half of the hip hop duo Method Man & Redman. With his stage name inspired by a 1979 film, Method Man has had a successful career in both music and acting. He won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1996 and has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including collaborations with fellow rapper Redman.

Method Man's talent extends beyond music, as he has showcased his acting skills in films such as Belly, How High, Garden State, The Wackness, Venom, Red Tails, Keanu and The Cobbler. On television, he starred alongside Redman in the short-lived Fox sitcom Method & Red. Additionally, he has had recurring roles in HBO series Oz (as Tug Daniels), The Wire (as Melvin "Cheese" Wagstaff), and The Deuce (as Rodney). In 2016, he made a cameo appearance on the Netflix series Luke Cage.

With his impressive contributions to both the music industry and Hollywood, Method Man continues to be recognized as an influential figure in hip hop culture. His unique style and charismatic presence have solidified his status as an iconic artist.
