40 years of Raising Hell.
KINGS FROM QUEENS
#JMJ4EVER #RIPRUNNYRAY4EVER
40 years ago today, Raising Hell changed music, fashion and culture forever.
More than a multi-platinum album, it became a movement — introducing Hip Hop to new heights and cementing one of the most iconic relationships in music history through “My adidas.”
From Hollis, Queens to the World, the Legacy still lives on.

"Put it like this, it made Run-DMC just as popular as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for Christmas. Every year for the rest of the existence of this universe, I got a hit record, and it’s called 'Christmas in Hollis.'"
DMC, Bobby Shriver, and Bill Adler tell the story of how this classic track was created to benefit the Special Olympics and made the trailblazing hip hop group a household name during the most wonderful time of the year.
