Def Jam President Joie Manda released a press release yesterday announcing the label’s newest project, Lil Reese. A born and raised Chicago artist, Reese was actually discovered by No I.D., a producer and A&R executive for Def Jam.
President Manda referred to Reese as part of the “lifeblood” of Def Jam, explaining how “the freshest talent” is what is most important to the culture and success of music.

Lil Reese did not hesitate to announce his first mixtape as a signed artist, “Don’t LIke,” hosted by DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon; amazingly, it comes out tomorrow, July 4th, so no need to wait too long for the Chicago sound.
