Congrats are in order for No I.D., (famous for working with hip-hop heavyweights like Kanye, Jay and more), as the producer has been named the Vice President over at Def Jam Records. “I’m (now) executive VP of Def Jam,” he told Billboard Saturday at ASCAP’s Rhythm and Soul team’s pre-VMAs Bowling Mixer. “I’m going to keep on doing what I’m doing and take it to another level.” More of what the new VP said after the jump,

“Def Jam is a cultural staple,” No I.D. said. “It’s not just a label, it’s part of the culture that I came up in and that I’ve been involved with for 20 years. It’s very important that the next generation of executives grab it by the horns and keep it on track as it grows.”

Congrats!! Big things!!
