Def Jam has long been known as the hub for Hip Hop releases. With the industry dealing with tough times selling records, the label's A&R sheds some light on new releases and lingering issues.

Things at Def Jam are looking great, Lenny S said to HipHopDX. We signed Jadakiss to Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam so thats coming, we have another Fabolous album, another Young Jeezy album coming. And another Ghostface album by the end of the year."

One of the more interesting deals has to do with Jadakiss signing with Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam. Many are curious what to expected from Jada's Def Jam debut.

Its hot! No seriously it is," Lenny jokes. "Were like 8 songs deep. Hes been working in D-Block studios in Yonkers knocking out joints. He knows what hes doing so its not like a daily hands on over the shoulder kind of thing.

Its hard. Its definitely hard and its definitely street," he continues "You wont hear anything out of the ordinary. Hes got a record on there called Letter To B.I.G. and hes telling B.I.G. everything that has happened since hes been gone. Very hot.

There's no firm release date on the album as of yet but expect it to be coming late spring/early summer.
