Def Mix Vol. 1 is a compilation album by American rapper Roxanne Shante, released in October 1985 by Pop Art Records.[2] Although four of the ten tracks are her own songs (the rest belong to other artists on the record label) the album was released as a Shanté solo compilation.[3][1]
The album debuted at No. 73 on the October 13, 1985, Top Black Albums chart in Billboard magazine. Two weeks later, the album peaked at No. 61 on the chart.[4]
In 1999, Ego Trip's editors ranked Def Mix Vol. 1 at No. 23 in their list of Hip Hop's 40 Greatest Albums 1979-85 in Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists.[5]
