One of the relationships that he made at a young age was with L.A. Reid, during their employment at Arista Records. Pecas talked about coming up under L.A. and gives some advice to all those with music industry aspirations.

"Always consistently maintain yourself and be the same person," said Pecas. "Don't try to change or adjust your personality...don't try and be something that you're not, always stay who you are, and always be honest with people. I believe in karma, and good things will come to you, as you give good things to others."

In addition to these helpful hints, Pecas also ran down the list of Def Jam artists set to release projects this year, which included Nas, Rick Ross, Kanye West, and many more.

Music & Def Jam Records, Part 1

 

Def Jam's Sr. Vice President Shawn "Pecas" Costner sat down with the good folks over at Al Lindstrom, for "#DefJamBack" Part 1. Pecas discusses the assumption that Def Jam was moving away from its Hip-Hop acts and focusing more on R&B. He also speaks on the beef between labelmates Jeezy & Rick Ross, and his stance on the situation. 

"Rick Ross & Young Jeezy are both grown men, and there's enough money in their prospective worlds of what they do," said Pecas. "So I try and take that energy and put it towards making Big Sean a bigger artist...I don't really get involved."

The exec also spoke about Asher Roth, Pusha T, and much more.

Over the weekend Def Jam executive Shawn "Pecas" Costner announced the signing of Pennsylvania rapper Asher Roth, and speaking to XXLmag.com, Roth commented on his new label home saying “We understand that Def Jam is ready to compete in a changing music business and a music business that's changed drastically even since the last time I was out doing commercial music."

"Def Jam has the mindset and resources to compete in this arena, and I know [SRC Records CEO] Steve Rifkind knows that.”

Roth released his first album Asleep In The Bread Aisle in 2009 on Rifkind's SRC imprint, and although the rapper couldn't explain the partnership worked out between Def Jam and SRC, he's ready to move forward in his new venture.

“I really don't know the logistics of it,” Roth said of the deal.

“Steve Rifkind is my guy. He was the one that gave me this opportunity in the first place and that will never go unsaid nor unnoticed nor unappreciated."

"Steve Rifkind is almost a second father to me. He really believes in me."

"Every time I talk to him, he wants to figure out a way to help me win."

"From a historical standpoint, when they asked me if I wanted to be with Def Jam for these upcoming projects, it's kind of a no-brainer.”

Asher Roth's new album is scheduled for release in 2012.
