Today In History
Jason William Mizell, better known as ‘Jam Master Jay’, was born in Brooklyn, New York City on this date January 21, 1965.
While growing up in Queens, Jam-Master Jay had quite a reputation in the area for being the flashiest amongst the B-boys around, standing out in the midst of a crowd of hip-hoppers trying to make a name for themselves. With his gifted turntable skills, budding emcees were doing whatever they could to come up and rap in front of him.
1982 came, and Run and DMC were keeping in touch while in college: Run in LaGuardia Community College to study mortuary science, and DMC in St John’s University. They form a rap duo, and enlisted Mizell to scratch turntables for them. Thus Run-D.M.C. was born.
