JayQuan Is Raising Hell For Run-DMC

Old school is in session as JayQuan, author of the coffee table book, RUN-DMC and Raising Hell: 40 Years, joins the podcast. 

As we learn JayQuan's story, we receive an education on the origins of hip-hop. Artists from the Cold Crush Brothers to William Waring to The Mizell Brothers were essential to the sound of Run-DMC, as were the beats of Take Me To The Mardi Gras by Bob James and Walk This Way by Aerosmith. 

It's no wonder JayQuan is the curator for the National Hip-Hop Museum in Washington DC, as well as a consultant for The Hip-Hop Museum in the Bronx. 

So let's start Raising Hell, and learn from the masters.
