Rick Ross Seems to Be More of a Priority Than Jeezy at Def Jam Currently

 

I guess Rick Ross seems to be a top priority at Def Jam Records right now. While Jeezy struggled for many months to get a release date for his fifth album, Seen It All: The Autobiography, Rick Ross has gotten two release dates for two albums in one year. He dropped his sixth studio album, Mastermind in March, and has gotten another release date for his seventh album, Hood Billionaire, set for a November release date. Record labels likes to do this with their top selling artists; DMX released two albums (It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood) in 1998 on Def Jam, and Nas also released two albums (I Am, and Nastradamus in one year (in 1999) on Columbia Records...and yea, Tupac did it with All Eyez On Me, and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory in 1996 on Death Row Records.

Hmm! That's what happens when Major labels go about signing artists based off of just one hit song. Trinidad James had his All Gold Everything popping in 2012, and Def Jam snagged him up not concerned whether or not he could make another hit after that, or make a full length album.
