G.O.O.D Music Officially Under Def Jam Umbrella

Kanye’s crew are doing very G.O.O.D for themselves, the artists now have an official Def Jam deal. Chairman Barry Weiss opened up on how everything went down, “As a recording artist and a producer over the past eight years, there is no one who has made a greater impression on the game than Kanye.  We look forward to working closely with the new and established artists that he will be bringing to G.O.O.D. Music, which is already off to an impressive start with Big Sean.”

President and COO of IDJMG Steve Bartels explains “Kanye’s genius has been proven time and time again on records and onstage. He not only pours it out for himself, but he has made the difference with his presence on innumerable projects with other artists who are indebted to him. Kanye is an integral core member of the IDJ family, and G.O.O.D. Music continues his unselfish tradition of bringing along great new artists to the forefront.”

Mos Def Signs To G.O.O.D Music

Mos Def X Kidd Future (DD172 - Photo By Evan Brockett)

According to Kanye West’s XXL story, in an article “Monster INC.” describing G.O.O.D Music artists. Mos Def appears on that lists, kind of quietly announcing Mos as apart of the label. Check out the paragraph below.

“Just as Kanye returned to his roots to scoop up Common, he recently recruited his buddy Brooklyn rapper/singer/actor Mos Def into the GOOD Music fold. Long regarded as a formidable talent by underground devotees and mainstream fans alike, Mos appeared on “Two Words” (from Kanye’s 2005 The College Dropout) and “Drunk and Hot Girls” (from KW’s 2007 Graduation). Since his 1999 solo debut, Black on Both Sides, Mos has increasingly been pushed — whether by generational choices or self-exile — to the fringes of indie, alternative hip hop. Maybe it will take Kanye to reign him in.- XXL”
