Our Take

Prepare to have your eardrums punched in, mate. Run DMC's latest effort, "Tougher Than Leather," is an absolute beast of an album. From the moment you press play, you're transported to the mean streets of Queens, immersed in a world of heavy beats and slick rhymes.

From the get-go, it's clear that Run DMC are not messing about. The album kicks off with the anthemic "Run's House," a track that will have you nodding your head and throwing up the horns in no time. And that's just the beginning. Tracks like "Beats to the Rhyme" and "Miss Elaine" showcase the group's trademark blend of hard-hitting beats and razor-sharp lyrics, while "Papa Crazy" sees them experimenting with a more funk-infused sound.

But it's not all serious business. Run DMC also know how to have a laugh, as evidenced by tracks like "Mary, Mary" and "Big Willie." These guys aren't afraid to poke fun at themselves, and their sense of humour shines through on every track.

Overall, "Tougher Than Leather" is a triumph. Run DMC have once again proven why they're one of the most iconic rap acts of all time. So grab yourself a pair of Adidas shell toes, turn up the volume, and get ready to be blown away. This album is a banger from start to finish, and it's sure to have you coming back for more. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

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.
