Def Jam Records has announced today that it has signed Dallas based rapper Bobby Sessions.
The announcement comes three years after Sessions quit his day job to pursue music full time. Some of his influences include Jay-Z, James Brown and N.E.R.D. He is known for his intricate rhymes and has only been popular in the underground but can the iconic label take him to the next level? We’d have to wait and see.
“Every freedom, every privilege, every great thing happening in our lives, down to your eyesight, each breath… we should put 100% of our energy into being grateful for that,” said Sessions. “We built everything from the ground up. I’m extremely proud of our team,” Sessions wrote in a Facebook post yesterday. “The support from our fans, friends, and family has been priceless. We’re excited to have signed with the greatest rap label of all-time.”
Shady Records founder and Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg became Def Jam’s new CEO and president on Jan. 1 and is the one who approved the deal with Sessions through his current label, Dallas’ High Standardz. Watch him discuss his signing with Say Cheese media below.
