DJ Khaled Returns To Def Jam
DJ Khaled has returned to Def Jam Records with a new deal that includes a job as Universal Music Group’s Global Creative Consultant. He announced the move to Def Jam after a multi-year deal at Epic Records. “This new chapter marks a special time for me,” Khaled said in a press release. “The energy at this point in my career is at an all-time high and I’m grateful to Sir Lucian Grainge for allowing me to join his empire at this stage in my journey.” Earlier in his career, DJ Khaled served as an A&R for Def Jam. His return to the label will reunite him with the label’s executive VP LaTrice Burnette, who he worked with at Epic Records.
