Check out these new and used Run-DMC vinyl records LPs for sale. Run-DMC famously came into formation in Hollis, Queens in 1983 and included Jason Mizell, Darryl McDaniels, and Joseph Simmons (brother of Russell Simmons of Def Jam Records.) They are considered one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all time alongside other notables like LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, and De La Soul. They became the first rap group to have a gold record with their self-titled release from 1984. Their follow-up album, King of Rock, sold twice as many units and went platinum marking another milestone for a hip-hop group. The third album, Raising Hell, went multiplatinum with the help of the huge Aerosmith cover of Walk this Way which was all over MTV 24 hours a day. Run-DMC went on to enjoy continued success in the 90s and had a long standing relationship with adidas clothing. Tragically, Jason Mizell a.k.a. Jam Master Jay was murdered in 2002 at his recording studio. We recommend starting your Run-DMC vinyl collection with the essential albums Raising Hell, King of Rock and Walk This Way.
