Hollis, Queens. Joseph 'Run' Simmons, Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels, Jason 'Jam Master Jay' Mizell. The first hip-hop group to go gold (1984), platinum (1986), multiplatinum, and MTV-network. 'Run-D.M.C.' (1984), 'King of Rock,' 'Raising Hell' (1986 — featuring the Aerosmith 'Walk This Way' that literally invented rock-rap as a commercial format), 'Tougher Than Leather.' Jam Master Jay was murdered in his Queens studio in 2002. First rap act in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2009). Sacred ground.
