MOVIE SYNOPSIS

When a close friend is murdered, Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay begin looking for answers.

Their investigation leads them into a dangerous world involving drug dealers, corrupt music executives and street violence.

Instead of waiting for someone else to deliver justice, the legendary Queens trio decides to handle the problem themselves.

HIP-HOP HISTORY

The movie stars:

• Joseph “Run” Simmons
• Darryl “DMC” McDaniels

It was directed by Rick Rubin, co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, and was released alongside Run-D.M.C.’s album of the same name.
