Speculation rises as to the future of Def Jux Records. Was waiting for an official statement, but El P not denying it is pretty close.

The Crypt: RIP Def Jux

ugsmag: R.I.P. Def Jux?

Shabooty: Def Jux Has Folded

update: El-P speaks, er, writes: Of Hooptys and Hovercrafts

In 2000 starting a traditional record label made a lot of sense. But now, in 2010, less so and I find myself yearning for something else to put my energy into. I also see newer, smarter, more interesting things on the horizon for the way art and commerce intersect, and as an artist and an entrepreneur, I’m eager to see them unfold.
