Rev Run’s Career

Run-DMC, a hip-hop group, secured a recording contract with Profile Records in the year 1983. The group’s debut single, titled “It’s Like That/Sucker MCs,” was somewhat successful and brought in some revenue. The trio was able to release their first debut album in 1984 with the assistance of the song, which reached a high position of No. 14 on the R&B charts.

Run-D.M.C. maintained their forward pace with the release of their album “King of Rock” in 1985. In spite of this, the band’s major break came the same year when they recorded a rap cover of Walk This Way by Aerosmith, which was a massive success at the time.

The song was a success, and to this day it is still regarded as being among the most famous rap songs ever recorded.

The music was a whole new sort of force to hit the airways, merging the hard-edged rap style of Run-D.M.C. with the forceful rock vocals of Steven Tyler and the driving guitar chords of Joe Perry. The name of the hip-hop group has entered the public consciousness.

After disbanding for a period of time in the late 1980s, Run-D:M:C: regrouped in 1993 to record and release a new album titled Down with the King before going on another hiatus. In the year 2000, the band came back together to record Crown Royal, and then they went on tour to promote the album.

However, in 2002, the group was dealt a devastating blow when Jam Master Jay was murdered in his studio in the borough of Queens in the city of New York. Run-D.M.C. became just the second rap group ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they were given the accolade in the year 2009.
