Having befriended Zulu Nation’s DJ Jazzy Jay, Rubin began to learn about hip hop production. By 1983, the two had produced “It’s Yours” for rapper T La Rock, and released it on their independent label, Def Jam Records. Producer Arthur Baker helped to distribute the record worldwide on Baker’s Streetwise Records in 1984. Jazzy Jay introduced Rubin to concert promoter/artist manager Russell Simmons in the Negril club, and Rubin explained he needed help getting Def Jam off the ground. Simmons and Rubin edged out Jazzy Jay and the official Def Jam record label was founded while Rubin was attending New York University in 1984.

Rubin went on to find more hip-hop acts outside The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Harlem including rappers from Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island, which eventually led to Def Jam’s signing of Public Enemy. Rubin was instrumental in pointing the members of the Beastie Boys away from their punk roots and into rap, resulting in the exit of Kate Schellenbach from the group. 1985’s “Rock Hard”/”Party’s Gettin’ Rough”/”Beastie Groove” EP by the Beastie Boys came out on the success of Rubin’s production work with breakthrough act Run-DMC, of which previous recordings were produced by Russell Simmons and Orange Krush’s musician Larry Smith. His productions were characterized by occasionally fusing rap with heavy rock. Rubin tapped Adam Dubin and Ric Menello to co-direct the music videos for the Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)” and “No Sleep till Brooklyn”, effectively launching the band’s mainstream hip hop careers.

He also produced Mick Jagger’s 1993 Wandering Spirit album, Lords of Acid’s 1994 Voodoo-U album, Tom Petty’s 1994 Wildflowers, AC/DC’s 1995 Ballbreaker, Donovan’s 1996 Sutras, and Metallica’s 2008 Death Magnetic.
