The iconic Adidas Superstar turns 50 years old this year and in celebration of the golden anniversary, the Three Stripes has joined forces with legendary hip-hop group Run-DMC for a special edition sneaker collection.

According to Sneaker News, Adidas will kickoff the year-long celebration on February 13th with two contrasting Superstars, both of which come sans laces as a nod to Run-DMC.

While this past Sunday (Jan. 26) will remain one of those tragic dates in history, history was made on the Grammy stage in Los Angeles, CA. Many artists including Billie Eilish, Lizzo, J. Cole, 21 Savage, and more took home their first-ever Grammy Awards. While performers like Ariana Grande, Tyler, The Creator, and more provided music fans with moments that will last a lifetime. However, there was one Grammy performance that historically fused rock and hip-hop fans together forever. Run DMC took to the stage alongside Aerosmith to perform their classic hit “Walk This Way” during a special extended montage of the rock collective’s hit songs.

Following the flawless performance by Aerosmith and Run DMC, the head-turning, heiress of hip-hop, Angela Simmons got the opportunity to take a legendary photo alongside her father Rev Run and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. The photo was captioned:

“So proud of my Dad @revwon !! Amazing performance tonight at the Grammys …… @iamstevent !! @kingdmc !! Nothing but greatness.”

While Angela Simmons appears to be back on the dating scene, she is still struggling with the tragic murder of her ex-Fiancé, Sutton Tennyson. Angela Simmons may not have the literal support of her child’s father anymore, but she has one of the best support systems in existence in the form of her legendary, extended hip-hop and rock family.

Check out the photo of Angela Simmons alongside Aerosmith and her father below. 

It's mindblowing to think that it's been nearly 18 years since Jam Master Jay was tragically murdered in his New York recording studio. The Run-DMC legend's death has been the subject of speculation for almost two decades, but his impact, not only in hip hop but in his local communities, remains evident.

Tuesday (January 21) marks what would have been Jason William Mizell's 55th birthday, and it didn't go unnoticed by those who were family, friends, and fans. His son, a DJ named Jason Mizell Jr., shared an image of his father with a simple happy birthday message on Instagram. Both Jam Master Jay and Run-DMC's official IG accounts not only celebrated the late icon's birthday, but they also shared that Jan. 21 is special to the group because of another milestone. "On this day 35 years ago RUN DMC released their 2nd studio album titled KING OF ROCK!" Jay's IG page wrote. "Must have been a nice b-day present for the 20 year Jam Master!"

Check out a few messages for a beloved figure in the hip hop community and beyond: Jam Master Jay. Throw on some Adidas and let us know which Run-DMC jam is your favorite.

With the 2020 Grammy nominations revealed, Alicia Keys set to host the biggest night in music once again, and Prince set to be honored by the Recording Academy, it’s only right that more information about this year’s Grammys leak before the show takes place later this month. According to Variety magazine, Aerosmith and Run-DMC will reunite on stage to perform their greatest collaborative hits. 

The legendary, Boston-bred rock collective was announced as a part of this year’s Grammy performers, but it was never revealed that they would be joined by the hip-hop pioneering group, Run-DMC. This revelation exposes the fact that the “Dream On” performers will be performing a full medley of their greatest hits for attendees and viewers to enjoy, reminisce, and reflect on. 

Run DMC and Aerosmith were both featured headliners on their 2002 Girls of Summer Tour. Since then, it has been a rare occurrence for the genre-crossing groups to meet on stage. This performance will surely be an experience in remembrance of the famed DJ, Jam Master Jay, as well as  moment of reflection for many people’s introduction into the art form that is hip-hop. 

Be sure to tune into the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, hosted by Alicia Keys will be broadcast live on CBS from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 26, starting at 5 PM PST.
