Former Cash Money Records producer Mannie Fresh has inked a deal
with Def Jam that will allow him to sign and produce new artists for the label.
Mannie Fresh appeared on New Orleans’ Q 93 during The Wild Wayne Show and revealed
that in addition to finding talent, he will produce for Southern acts on the Def
Jam label. The platinum-plus producer also has the freedom to continue to produce
for artists outside of the Def Jam label as well. "Dude [Jay-Z]
reached out, flew me up, we talked about it," Mannie Fresh said. "It
was a nice little proposal and that’s where I’m at now. He gets this era of Hip-Hop…What
made me take the deal was they didn’t want me to do this exclusive thing with
them, they was like you can do what ever it is you do."
