Biography

Edit

RJD2 is an instrumental hip-hop artist and producer. His debut album, Deadringer, was released on Definitive Jux in 2002 to rave reviews, many of which claimed it was like a sequel to DJ Shadow's masterpiece Entroducing.... The following year he released The Horror, which featured one CD of rarities and b-sides, and a multimedia disc of videos and animations. His second proper album, Since We Last Spoke, was released in 2004, to more warm reviews. It moved away from instrumental hip-hop and saw RJ singing and playing real instruments, indicating a move towards rock music.

After leaving Definitive Jux, RJ signed to XL Records and released his third album The Third Hand in 2007. A pop-rock album which featured RJ singing and playing instruments on most tracks, it received mixed reviews from critics.
