Def Jam Recordings

A new collection is paying homage to the ladies of Def Jam.

The Women of Def Jam compilation album was released Friday in celebration of Women’s History Month. The 24-track set features female artists in hip hop and R&B from the ‘90s through the present, including Nikki D, Foxy Brown, Boss, Ashanti, Amerie, Teyana Taylor, Alessia Cara, Rapsody, Jhené Aiko and more.

Def Jam isn’t just proud of its female roster — the company also boasts women in positions of power. Over half of the Def Jam staff are women, including seven women of color in senior executive positions.
