Career
In 1984, he and Russell Simmons started Def Jam Records out of Rubin's dorm room at New York University. After producing the Beastie Boys debut smash hit License to Ill, Rubin began working with more Rock-oriented bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Jesus and Mary Chain. After parting ways with Def Jam Records in 1993, Rubin formed his own record label, American Recordings. His first project for American was as a producer of the Johnny Cash comeback album American Recordings. Rubin went on to produce four more albums with Cash, as well as a number of other artists - including the Dixie Chicks' 2007 Grammy-winning album Take the Long Way.
