D.C. native and Def Jam EVP & A&R Shakir Stewart was found dead today in his apartment. Sources say from self inflicted gun wounds. Shakir did a lot of work with a bunch of major artist such as...Beyonce, Ciara, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy to name a few. Under the Def Jam Umbrella with Jay Z and L.A. Reid, Shakir held his own. It's tragic to see a young soul go that way. I had the opportunity to work on a project with Shakir and he was definitely an intelligent business man and a great person. My condolences goes out to the Stewart family.
