Run DMC are truly pioneers in their own field. Despite the death of their influential DJ, Jam Master Jay, their legacy still lives on. Still the Kings of Rock for many, ?Maximum Run DMC? gives the complete story of how three homeboys from Queens were catapulted from the unknown to superstar status over night. With the complete lowdown on the death of Jam Master Jay and the group?s subsequent retirement this is an essential purchase for any fan of the band, or indeed the hip-hop movement in general.
