Def Jam Recordings has released their latest compilation album Undisputed.

Back in November of 2018, Def Jam left seventeen of their latest signees to their own devices at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, California. The collection of rappers had six days to lay down an album.

That was how Undisputed, Def Jam Recordings latest compilation, came to be.

The fifteen-track album includes original tracks from developing artists like Ashton Travis, Landstrip Chip, Nimic Revenue, Lil Brook, Fetty Luciano, Bernard Jabs, and more. Rich The Kid, Tyga, and YG also make contributions

“One of the most important aspects of our efforts has centered around building a new roster. Together with these incredible new artists we have developed urgent, cutting-edge and truly great new music and content,” Def Jam CEO Paul Rosenberg said of the project.

Undisputed's release coincides with the roll-out of Def Jam's eight-part documentary series of the same name, being presented through WorldStarHipHop. The doc follows the seventeen artists through the label's weeklong "Rap Camp."
