Run–DMC, an American hip hop group from Hollis, Queens, New York founded in 1981 by Joseph Simmons, Darryl McDaniels, and Jam Master Jay, is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential acts in the history of hip hop culture. They were the first group in the genre to have a gold album and be nominated for a Grammy Award. They were also the first to earn a platinum record (“King of Rock”, 1985), the first to earn a multiplatinum certification (“Raising Hell”, 1986), the first to have videos on MTV, the first to appear on American Bandstand and the cover of Rolling Stone. In 2007, they were named “The Greatest Hip Hop Group of All Time” by MTV.com and “Greatest Hip Hop Artiste of All Time” by VH1.
