Paul Rosenberg has stepped down at Def Jam to launch Goliath Records with Universal Music Group.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

He will remain President of Shady Records, a Universal joint venture with Eminem, to start a new UMG joint venture in Goliath Records. Rosenberg will also continue to work with Def Jam for consultancy on their legacy artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naim McNair who serves as Senior Vice President of A&R at Universal Music Group will now also take on the role of Senior Vice President for A&R at Def Jam Recordings as well. McNair has worked with top artists and producers for 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosenberg said of leaving Def Jam: “Lucian offered me a dream opportunity to serve at the helm of Def Jam. The experience I had running one of the greatest, most storied record companies of the modern era was incredible.
I will remain forever grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve learned a great deal, but one of the most important things I learned is that my ability to multi-task is not without limits. My new relationship with UMG gives me the ability to continue to sign and develop talent in a more focused and streamlined way, while still dedicating the time necessary to fulfil my management duties and foster the many entrepreneurial endeavours connected with Eminem.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
