Now you know we have to give a huge Happy Birthday shout out to a true pioneer, the man who revolutionized the hip hop industry, none other than Russell Simmons!! What amazing contributions this brotha has made to the game. From managing artists (Rush Artist Management), to starting the label Def Jam with Rick Rubin, to signing some the most prolific artists, to starting Def Comedy Jam, to starting clothing lines (Phat Farm & Baby Phat), to financial services (Rush Card), you get my drift! The brotha deserves nothing but TRUE respect! So enjoy your day Russ, & thanks for all your contributions!
