Chicago Rapper Lil Reese Becomes Def Jam Recordings Newest Signee
It has only been a matter of weeks since it was announced that rapper Chief Keef would be signing to Interscope Records and it looks like yet another young Chicago artist has been picked up by a major label. Earlier today Def Jam Recordings announced in a press release that 19-year-old, Chicago rapper Lil Reese has signed with the label.
In the press release Def Jam president Joie Manda went on to express the labels excitement in recruiting an artist with a unique perspective of the Midwest.
“Lil Reese brings a gritty, authentic perspective to life on the streets of Chicago,” said Manda in a statement. “It’s fitting that one of our brightest A&R executives, No I.D. – a fellow Chicago native and superproducer in his own right – brought Reese to us. Artists like Reese are part of our lifeblood here at Def Jam, where we not only cherish our heritage as the definitive label in hip-hop, but seek out, sign and develop the freshest talent our culture has to offer.”
