"Kings From Queens: The Run DMC Story" lets Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels tell their own story.
Run DMC is here to show us the “tricky” and humble beginnings of their stardom in a new three-part docuseries, “Kings From Queens: The Run DMC Story,” which premieres Thursday on Peacock.
Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell came together in 1983 in the Hollis, Queens, neighborhood of New York City and helped usher in the golden era of hip-hop with other big acts throughout the ’80s.
Known for being one of the most influential hip-hop groups of all time, Run DMC had to fight tooth and nail in order to be recognized by the mainstream public as the burgeoning hip-hop movement started to grow.
The rap group broke barriers and made history as the first hip-hop act to appear on “American Bandstand,” to have their videos play on MTV, and the first rap act to receive a Grammy nomination. To this day, people are rocking Adidas due to the influential group. Their song, “My Adidas,” helped pave the way for the first brand endorsement deal in hip-hop culture.
In the docuseries, Simmons and McDaniels reunite to tell their story in their own words, with the help of several other hip-hop greats including Chuck D, Ice Cube, MC Lyte, Jermaine Dupri and others.
