Run-DMC

Run-DMC was a pioneering hip-hop group that is widely considered one of the most influential groups in the history of hip-hop, and their music helped to establish rap as a mainstream genre. The group's style was marked by their stripped-down beats and aggressive, hard-hitting rhymes, which helped to define the sound of hip-hop in the 1980s.

The group's success helped to bring hip-hop to a wider audience and paved the way for other hip-hop artists to achieve mainstream success. They were the first hip-hop group to achieve a gold album, a platinum album, and a multi-platinum album, and they were also the first hip-hop group to have a music video on MTV.
