DEF JAM'S UNDISPUTED GRAMMY WEEK
On 2/7 at Paramount Studios in NYC, Def Jam kicked off Grammy week festivities with an “Open Studio” event designed to introduce over a dozen of the label’s newest signings, the forthcoming UNDISPUTED compilation album and the accompanying eight-part documentary.
The all-day event was hosted by Chairman/CEO Paul Rosenberg, EVP and head of A&R Steven Victor, VP of A&R Alexander “AE” Edwards, A&R’s Pedro Genao and Rico Beats, and EVP of content Noah Callahan-Bever.
Execs and programmers from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Pandora, Amazon and the NFL plus other notable tastemakers were in the house, as Rosenberg and Victor outlined the label’s vision for the future.
Featured UNDISPUTED artists such as YFL Kelvin, TJ Porter, Landstrip Chip, SNEAKK, Lul G, Sensi Molly & Lil Brooke, Fetty Luciano, Nimic Revenue and Bernard Jabs held breakout sessions in the adjoining studios, where guests piled in for a chance to listen.
The UNDISPUTED album drops on 3/8.
