Run DMC

Run DMC is getting a New York City street corner named after them.

205th Street and Hollis Avenue, the corner in Queens where the hip hop group began, will be renamed to “RUN DMC JMJ Way”.

The New York City Council approved the renaming to honor Run DMC, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to make it official shortly.

“JMJ” stands for the late Jam Master Jay, one of the group’s founding members. His murder in 2002 remains unsolved.
