Our Take

Ah, RUN-DMC, the group that single-handedly brought hip-hop into the mainstream in the 80s. Tougher Than Leather, their fourth studio album, now re-released on glorious translucent blue vinyl, is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the legendary trio.

From the moment the needle hits the record, you're transported back to the gritty streets of New York City, where RUN-DMC reigned supreme. Tracks like "Run's House" and "Beats to the Rhyme" showcase their signature blend of hard-hitting beats and razor-sharp lyricism.

But it's not all throwback vibes on Tougher Than Leather. The group experiments with new sounds on tracks like "Papa Crazy" and "Ragtime," showing their versatility and willingness to push boundaries.

And of course, who can forget the iconic collaboration with Aerosmith on "Walk This Way"? The track that forever changed the game for hip-hop and rock fusion.

Overall, Tougher Than Leather not only holds up after all these years but sounds better than ever on this stunning translucent blue vinyl. So grab your Adidas tracksuit, dust off your boombox, and prepare to be blown away by the timeless sound of RUN-DMC. It's a bonafide classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection.

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.
