Our Take

In the annals of hip-hop history, there are few albums as iconic as RUN DMC's "Raising Hell." This 1986 release is an absolute game-changer, blending the raw energy of the streets with slick production and infectious hooks. From the moment the needle drops on the opening track "Peter Piper," you know you're in for a wild ride.

RUN DMC's dynamic duo of Run and DMC deliver their trademark hard-hitting rhymes with a swagger that is unmatched. The chemistry between the two MCs is undeniable, bouncing off each other with effortless precision. And let's not forget about the legendary DJ Jam Master Jay, whose deft scratching and beat juggling elevate every track to new heights.

The album boasts some of the genre's most influential tracks, including the anthemic "It's Tricky" and the groundbreaking collaboration with Aerosmith on "Walk This Way." These songs are not just hits, they are cultural touchstones that have inspired generations of artists to come.

But what truly sets "Raising Hell" apart is its fearless experimentation. From the rock-infused sound of "Rock Box" to the infectious pop sensibility of "My Adidas," RUN DMC fearlessly push the boundaries of what hip-hop can be.

In short, "Raising Hell" is a timeless masterpiece that still sounds as fresh and vital today as it did upon its release. If you're looking to experience a true classic in the pantheon of hip-hop, look no further than this album. It's an absolute must-listen for any music lover.

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.
