It was only a matter of time.. Trinidad James has been
dropped from Def Jam.
He tweeted: "I should tell yall. I got dropped by the
Label. My Album is now free. If u hear ur beat or verse on it. I hope u want
dap cuz i got no money.”
James signed with Def Jam in 2012, following the success of
"All Gold Everything.” After a slew of walk through’s and club
performances he has now been dropped before an album could even see day light.

James has always stated that he is not the most lyrical or
skilled rapper, but that he finds rapping entertaining. With the blow up of “All
gold everything” labels saw a chance to make a quick buck and a battle ensued
where he found a home in a joint venture Def Jam deal.
While his hit song grabbed spots in commercial endorsements,
he released a few more singles to no real air play. Slowly James faded into the
background as the next catchy trap song took its place… I’m sure several have
replaced that one in the two years that followed as well.
Sadly, this is a trend in the hip-hop world these days.
