In 2007, DJ Khaled exploded, becoming one of the most-popular figures in hip hop. At the time, he was on Fat Joe’s label, Terror Squad, via Koch Records. But, Def Jam noticed his skills, bringing him on as the head of Def Jam South.
DJ Khaled oversaw releases from Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, and Ludacris. For his efforts, he was given his own label, which he titled We The Best. The first artist was Ace Hood, who exploded onto the scene.
