Jay Z Leaves Def Jam...

So its official...Jay left Def Jam, rumoured to have bought out his contract from Def Jam for a cool 5 Mil (had one album left under contract)...read what Hov had to say under the pic.



“I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely. I’ve been in the family for almost my entire career.

Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique “negotiations” ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..

I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music.”
