DMC’s Amazing Run: A Hip Hop Pioneer on the Highs and Lows of an NYC Journey
Darryl McDaniels, aka DMC of the legendary Run-DMC, is a pillar of the hip hop movement that was born right here in NYC.
The game changing rap trio rocked the music industry, becoming the first hip hop act to achieve a Gold record, a Platinum record, a Grammy nomination, and appear on the cover of Rolling Stone, among other unheard of feats. And while DMC embraces the group’s icon status, he’s not shying away from the struggles he experienced as hip hop grew into a global phenomenon.
In this episode of the Get Stuff Done-Cast, Mayor Eric Adams sits down with the Queens-born artist to talk about the 50th anniversary or hip hop, the struggles and heartbreak he experienced, and how therapy saved his life.
