The-Dream Named VP Of A&R At Def Jam Records

I am committed as I have been previously to bringing the power of belief in the artist back to the forefront. I share a unique view of an artist and as well as the business of music. I, with the help of many others, have ran a successful business for the last five years in the midst of the “Digital Change.” My concentration and effort will be to the artist to succeed in their dreams and goals. I’ve been a part of watching and participating in the success of many great women and men including Beyonce, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion to name a few. Music means more than just a download, it’s life to the culture and also the people who listen. This is a new exciting yet critical time for music – ‘You Meet Change with Change!’.

Hit-Boy – East Vs. West [Video]

Off Hit-Boy’s “HITstory” mixtape. Music video inspired by HS87 artist Hit-Boy and his song “East Vs. West”. The song was produced by Rey Reel. Directed and edited by Marcus McDammit. Special thanks to Yvette (SoCal Vixen) for smoking so much weed and Silly Boi for putting up with it, which I’m sure he didn’t mind doing. The story (its kind of an abstract video) is about a woman sitting on her couch, relaxing, and watching a documentary on 2Pac and Biggie. Dedicated to everyone that has lost their lives due to senseless violence.
