49 year old Calvin Broadus Jr father/grandfather in life, Snoop Dogg the God Father of Hip Hop in entertainment spilled the tea of his new position via a video on his IG that he has joined Def Jam Recordings as executive creative and strategic consultant, a role that will allow him to strategically work across the label’s executive team and artist roster.
According to Snoop Dogg’s video:
“Now, you may wonder why, so late in my career, would I wanna work for Def Jam Records… Def Jam was the holy grail of hip-hop.” “So when I got the opportunity, my main focus on Def Jam was to help the artists and give them love and wisdom and guidance and understanding, teach them some tricks that I learned in the game — to diversify their portfolios to be superstars,”
Snoop Dogg also said that we may get a new Snoop album out of the deal as well.
Def Jam was founded in New York in 1984 by Rick Rubin and the legendary Russell Simmons who brought us some of the most iconic names in Hip Hop history such as Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy and Rihanna just to name a few.
With that being said congratulations to Snoop Dogg are most definitely in order!
