\u201cAfrica, we\u2019ve got news for you,\u201d it tweeted and Stonebwoy replied with a comment saying, \u201cLet\u2019s Go\u201d.
Def Jam Recordings is an American record label based in Manhattan, New York City, owned by the Universal Group.
The label has a London-based, UK arm known as 0207 Def Jam (formerly Def Jam UK from the 1990s until the mid-2000s) and is currently operated through EMI Records.
Def Jam was launched in Africa in May 2020, as the first label dedicated to representing the best hip-hop, Afrobeats and trap talent in Africa, and follows the blueprint of the iconic Def Jam Recordings label.
Def Jam distributes releases of various label imprints, including Kanye West\u2019s GOOD , and Dave East\u2019s From the Dirt Records.
Current artists signed to the label include Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Toya Johnson, Nasty C, 2 Chainz, Dave East, Jeezy, Jeremih, Jhen\u00e9 Aiko, and YK Osiris, among others.
It is unclear the type of deal Def Jam Recordings Africa has entered with Stonebwoy. But most Africans especially Ghanaians are expecting it will be a deal that will further project his brand to the world.<\/p>\n
