Biography

Run-D.M.C., the pioneering hip-hop trio, shaped the sound and style of the genre as the first hardcore rap outfit. Hailing from Hollis, Queens, Run (Joseph Simmons), D.M.C. (Darryl McDaniels), and Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) gained fame with their innovative approach to rap music. Their debut single, "It's Like That"/"Sucker M.C.'s," released in 1983, marked a new era in hip-hop with its distinctive sound and powerful vocals.

By the mid-'80s, Run-D.M.C. had become influential figures in the rap scene, blending rock and rap in hits like "My Adidas" and "Walk This Way." Despite facing challenges in the changing hip-hop landscape, the group continued to release albums and perform, leaving a lasting legacy in the music industry. Tragically, the untimely murder of Jam Master Jay in 2002 marked the end of an era in hip-hop history.
