Per The Toy Book, “it was 35 years ago this month that the worlds of rap and rock converged with the groundbreaking collaboration between Aerosmith and Run-DMC for an update to the former’s 1975 hit, “Walk This Way.”” Mattel has been exploring the pop culture space through the Fisher-Price Little People brand, according to the article.
Run-DMC still has a strong social media presence. One of the beloved group members, Jam Master Jay was killed in 2002. The hip-hop icons are also giving fans their own taste of nostalgia through their Amazon store where sweatshirts and hoodies, t-shirts and the hip-hop group’s music is sold.
According to Run-DMC’s website, “Raising Hell,” was Run DMC’s third album which was “certified Platinum with 1 million copies sold” in 1986. Dating back to previous years, Run-DMC “was the first Rap group to have an album certified Gold with their self-titled album in 1984.”
