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.

Public Enemy is an American hip hop group that was founded in 1985 in Long Island, New York. The group consists of Chuck D and Flavor Flav as the main MCs, Terminator X and DJ Lord as the DJs, Professor Griff as the 'Minister of Information' and occasional MC, and Security Of The First World (S1W) as an associate non-music group. They have been making music together since their formation and continue to do so today.
In 2013, Public Enemy was honored for their contributions to music when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers. This recognition solidifies their impact on the hip hop genre and acknowledges their influential presence in the industry.
With a career spanning several decades, Public Enemy remains a prominent force in hip hop. Their thought-provoking lyrics and innovative sound have made them one of the most respected groups in the genre.

With 1987's&nbsp;Yo! Bum Rush the Show, Public Enemy introduce a new kind of bravado that's not just directed at other players and sucker mcs but is an out-and-out middle-finger challenge to the whole world, as these serious brothers roll right over you in a slow-moving convoy of 98 oldsmobiles ('you're gonna get yours'). Public enemy crowd these tracks with disparate sounds that move your butt while they buzz from every channel. Despite their serious posturing, you'll be grateful for the sloppy bass line in 'Timebomb' and Terminator x's brilliant tone experiment, 'Public Enemy No. 1.'&nbsp;Yo! BumRush the Show&nbsp;isn't Public Enemy's masterpiece, but it's a truly standout album, a warning shot for the full-scale assault they would later initiate on&nbsp;It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back.
