RUN DMC

Kudos are in order for Run DMC as they will join an elite group of artists to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame:

Founded by Joseph “Reverend Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels, and the late Jason “Jam-Master Jay” Mizell, Run-D.M.C. is being recognized for its influence on pop culture in general, as the first group to bring Hip-Hop music to a mainstream audience.

Since the release of their first single “It’s Like That/Sucker MCs” in 1983, Run-D.M.C made strides in areas that are now seem common in the world of Hip-Hop, but were great achievements then.
