Russell Simmons (born October 4, 1957 in Queens, New York), is an American entrepreneur and activist. Simmons was the co-founder of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, a founder of Russell Simmons Music Group, and the creator of the clothing fashion line Phat Farm and the fragrance label Atman. Russell Simmons is the third richest hip hop entrepreneur, having a net-worth estimate of $340 million. He is only behind Jay-Z at $547M, and P Diddy at $358M. Simmons attended City College of New York but left his studies to promote local rap music acts, including Kurtis Blow and Run-DMC, and produce records.

In 1984, he met New York University student Rick Rubin and together they founded Def Jam Records, signing the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Run-DMC and other acts. Def Jam became just one piece in Simmons' corporation, Rush Communications, which included a management company, a clothing company called Phat Farm, a movie production house, television shows such as Def Comedy Jam, a magazine, and an advertising agency. Simmons sold his stake in the record company for $100 million to Universal Music Group in 1999.

A Call For Help!!!!!!!!!!
Current mood: blessed
Category: Religion and Philosophy
A Call For Help.

I am sending out this message to people that have yet to make a purchase in support of Lifechange Publishing LLC. This is a Major Movement for change. If we want the world to change we must change it. My Goal is to do so but I cannot do it alone. This will be one of the best purchases mentally and spiritually that you ever made. Don?t Miss this opportunity to acquire some knowledge and some blessings by simply purchasing a book.

God has made it too easy for you to support this mission Ordained by him. If you ignore his call that?s on you. He knows if you?re ready to come out of the Dark and into the night. He knows what is in your head and your heart. We all want his help, we all want something from him but we are so afraid to spend a dollar on missions Ordained by him. While we rush to throw it away on nonsense. I am trying to Bless as many as I can but I can only lead you to the water it is entirely up to you and God whether or not you choose to take Your Drink. Thank you 4 your time. Love and Peace, king Ocar, www.kingocar.com
