Former music executive for both Def Jam and Arista Records, Drew Dixon sat down with Jazzie Belle to discuss and celebrate her accomplishments in Hip Hop & R&B.

Hits like Method Man's "You're All I Need" featuring Mary J Blige, Aretha Franklin's "A rose is still a rose," to Whitney Houston's "Your love is my love" all were touched by the brilliant mind of Drew Dixon.
