One of the artist with the most hype behind him right now is Trinidad James, the outrageously creative and tackishly stylish rapper of the track “All Gold Everything” which everyone seems to be familiar with. In recent news and after a short period of bidding wars, Trinidad James inked a record deal with Def Jam Records. James talks signing the 2 Million $ Deal, not being a one-hit-wonder and a bunch of talk about the start of his music career.

Well isn’t this a surprise? Well not really because Def Jam has a reputation and track record like no other and they’ve just added another artist to add to their already loaded team. Billboard recently broke the news to the world and the deal for the ATLien is said to be around $2 million dollars. Congrats to both parties and if you’ve only heard “All Gold Everything“, go download Trinidad‘s first tape “Don’t Be S.A.F.E” and get familiar. A quote from Def Jam’s president is below.

We’re excited to welcome a young talent like Trinidad James to the Def Jam family. Def Jam prides itself as both a cornerstone of hip-hop’s rich tradition, and as a vital, forward-thinking label dedicated to breaking and nurturing emerging artists. Trinidad James represents the cutting-edge of what’s happening in the culture today. We are thrilled to have him at the label, and look forward to growing his already massive buzz.”

Go ahead and add yet another amazing accomplishment to The-Dream‘s resume’. Today, Def Jam makes it official as they appoint Dream as the brand new VP of A&R. Incase you’re wondering the job description of a A&R VP, they are responsible for many things involving the artist over at Def Jam, including scouting new artists and producing songs as well as writing them. We all know that Dream is no stranger to either of these requirements so I’m sure he’ll do great. Congrats to both parties, now if only we could get The-Dream’s “Love IV” album.
