PROFILE |
 |
Russell Simmons, hip-hop pioneer and founder of Rush Communications, is in no hurry for the hip-hop craze to subside. Founded in 1979, his company is one of the largest African-American-owned media firms. The company continues to draw on its roots in hip-hop and rap, targeting young consumers through urban and hip-hop culture. Rush sold its Def Jam Recordings (which launched the careers of artists such as the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy) to Universal Music to focus on other operations. These include television (Russell Simmons Television), film (Def Pictures), clothing (Phat Farm), and media ("Oneworld" magazine). In addition, Rush Philanthropic Arts brings arts education to inner-city kids.
