RUN-DMC Get Their Own Street

Well deserved! The legendary rap group RUN DMC were honored yesterday (Aug 30) in their hometown of Hollis, Queens as they got a street renamed after them. A petition was submitted by New York's Hip-Hop Summit Youth Council earlier this year to local councilors in order to create a memory for the legendary Hip-Hop group. Think of it as the hood's version of a Hollywood Star on the Walk Of Fame.

Located on the corner of 205th Street and Hollis Avenue, the street will now be dubbed
“Run-DMC JMJ Way.” It will be in commemoration of the group's DJ, Jam Master Jay, who was murdered in Jamaica, Queens in October 2002, a case that is still unsolved.
