Our Take

In a world filled with pretenders to the throne, RUN DMC have once again proven why they are the true kings of hip hop with their latest offering "Down With The King". From the moment the album kicks off with the title track, listeners are transported back to the golden age of rap, where beats were as fresh as the kicks and rhymes were as sharp as the Adidas stripes on their tracksuits.

The legendary trio effortlessly blend old school vibes with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative. Tracks like "Big Willie" and "Can I Get It, Yo" showcase the group's ability to craft catchy hooks and tight verses that will have you nodding your head and tapping your feet in no time.

But it's not just the music that shines on this album - the production is top-notch, with each beat carefully crafted to complement the powerful vocals of Rev Run, DMC, and Jam Master Jay. The guest appearances from artists like Pete Rock and Q-Tip only add to the star-studded lineup, elevating the album to new heights.

Overall, "Down With The King" is a testament to the enduring talent and influence of RUN DMC. This album proves that even after all these years, they are still at the top of their game, ruling the hip hop kingdom with style, swagger, and, of course, plenty of attitude. Long live the kings!

About the artist

Run-D.M.C.

Ah, do you remember the days when hip-hop was just a baby on the music scene, finding its feet and making noise in the streets of New York City? Well, look no further than the pioneering trio RUN DMC, who not only helped shape the sound of a generation but also left an indelible mark on the world of music. Run DMC, consisting of Joseph Simmons (Run), Darryl McDaniels (DMC), and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay), burst onto the scene in the early 1980s with their raw, unapologetic brand of rap that blended rock and hip-hop in a way that had never been done before. With hits like "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" (featuring Aerosmith), the group quickly became known for their signature style of rap-rock fusion that revolutionised the genre. But it wasn't just their music that set them apart – it was their fashion sense, too. Who could forget the iconic Adidas tracksuits and classic shell-toe sneakers that became synonymous with the group? RUN DMC didn't just make music; they made a statement with their bold, no-frills approach to style. Despite the tragic loss of Jam Master Jay in 2002, the legacy of RUN DMC lives on, with their influence still being felt in the world of hip-hop today. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their sound, one thing is for sure – there's no denying the impact that RUN DMC has had on the music industry. So lace up your Adidas and turn up the volume, because the kings of rock are here to stay.
